The Happy Pear

Overview

Let's face it: while we want to eat more fruit and veg and things we know are good for us, we sometimes fall short because we're not sure how to turn all that great produce into great food. Well, welcome to the Happy Pear way of eating—healthy but never worthy, easy but never dull, and packed with mind-blowing flavor, exciting texture, and vibrant color. The Happy Pear opened 10 years ago when twins David and Stephen Flynn, passionate about starting a food revolution in their home town, took over their local fruit and veg shop and later opened a café. Their revolution has not only succeeded, but it is spreading, and The Happy Pear's fans range from young parents to pensioners, ladies-who-lunch to teens-on-the-run, hipsters to Hollywood stars.

Author Biography

David and Stephen Flynn are twins who, well into their 20s, were typical meat-eating, pint-swilling, girl-chasing jocks. Until—entirely independently—they tried a vegetarian diet. It transformed their lives. They developed a passion for good food and health that was both addictive and utterly infectious. The Happy Pear café, shop and brand have become iconic and their food has an ever-growing legion of fans.
