My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Classic Irish cooking at its best! There is a lovely array of classic Irish recipes to choose from. I started with an old classic–Irish Soda Bread. It was a huge hit! It’s easy to make, though the amounts seemed somewhat out of whack. 3 c of flour to 2 1/2 c of buttermilk do not make a dough that you can shape into a round cake, much less cut a cross in! I had to add a LOT more flour, and then cook it much longer as it was a larger loaf at that point, but otherwise it turned out well.

Irish Stew. Ah! It’s a classic. It’s comfort food. It’s delicious!! Easy to make, it’s sure to delight the family! Baked Eggs with Spinach makes a nice change for breakfast. It’s delicious and somewhat healthy as well!

There are many more recipes I want to try from the Beef and Mushroom Pie to Venison Pasties (now that I have venison in my freezer. Yay!), the classic Queen of Puddings and Potato Soup with Salmon and Chives to name a few. There is much to love in this cookbook, and I’m happy to recommend it.

I received a copy of this cookbook from Interlink Publishing for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
