Author, chef and critic Paolo Tullio died during the month of June. Known for his appearances on RTE culinary programmes, he also authored the book Mushroom Man.
One review of the book reads:” An unlikely relationship is formed between two strangers whose common interest attracts them to the same website. Mushroom.man's psychedelic accounts of his mushroom habit persuade a lonely addiction researcher to pay his subject a visit, in this cyber-narrative cum psychological thriller.”
