Good Together

By Una Leonard

Delicious Recipes for the Moments that Matter

Una Leonard dedicates her days to creating delicious treats – at 2210 Patisserie and at home with family and friends. In Good Together, she has brought together more of her favourite sweet and savoury recipes so that you can create delicious food to share during life’s special moments, big and small.

Enhance a Cinnamon Roll or a Sausage Roll on a lazy Sunday morning; impress at lunchtime with a Grilled Halloumi & Beetroot Salad or freshly baked Focaccia; celebrate an important day (or make an ordinary day even better) with Cookies & Cream Cupcakes, Bakewell Buns or a Banoffee Pie Loaf Cake.

This selection of over 90 recipes also includes Una’s favourite seasonal delights, such as Baileys Tiramisu, Pavlova Cake and Barm Brack, and her top tips for filling, stacking and decorating showstopper cakes.

Good Together is full of mouth-watering treats you’ll want to share every day, no matter the occasion.

About Una Leonard...

Una Leonard is the owner and founder of 2210 Patisserie, a speciality bakery and online business selling delicious baked goodies and custom celebration and wedding cakes.

Upon achieving a degree in culinary arts and business, Una began her baking enterprise at home in her mother’s kitchen, initially fulfilling orders from family and friends.

One day in 2015 while exploring Mullingar town, Una passed an empty shop front – which led to the idea of opening a café. In the weeks and months to follow, Una, at just twenty-two years old, opened the doors of 2210 Patisserie, her simple goal being to bake cakes.

Today, 2210 Patisserie is well-established in the town of Mullingar, supporting the local community and local businesses. A second location has opened in Powerscourt Town Centre, Dublin, and the business is set to expand further.

Una’s first book, Sweet Therapy: The Joy of Baking, was published in 2022 and was an immediate number-one bestseller. Good Together is her second book.
