Former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has revealed he is set to publish a cookbook.

The Irish Times reports the book is to be called The Negotiators' Cook Book and will be released in time for Christmas.

Speaking at a Féile an Phobail event last night, the Louth TD said: “The British never fed us. They never had any food. But as intrepid republicans and being blessed by one or two great cooks these are the recipes that sustained the Irish negotiating team.

“It contains some of the best-kept secrets of the Irish peace process.”

Mr Adams has authored 15 books, including My Little Book of Tweets, a collection of his posts made on Twitter.

During last night's talk, Mr Adams also revealed he will release a collection of short stories next year, which he said he had been working on for five years.
