Nearly twenty years ago David and Stephen Flynn, a.k.a the Happy Pear twins, discovered the joys and benefits of a plant-based diet and embarked on a mission to encourage everyone to 'eat more veg'. Now, with fans like Russell Brand, Joe Wicks, Rangan Chatterjee and Fearne Cotton, sales of over a quarter of a million copies of their four cookbooks, a social audience of nearly one million, bestselling vegan products throughout Ireland and the UK, and their original Happy Pear cafes still thriving in Ireland, David and Stephen Flynn's vision goes from strength to strength. Their most recent book, The Happy Health Plan, came out in December.
