About me
I’m Kristin Jensen, the founder, publisher and editor at Blasta Books and Nine Bean Rows. Before I started my publishing house, I was a freelance editor and food writer for over 20 years and I’ve co-authored three books. I pretty much eat, sleep and breathe books and food. You can also find me on Instagram @edibleireland.📚
Thank you and Happy St Patrick’s Day. We are off to Ballydehob. Enjoy the day, wherever you find yourself.
