Traditional Irish Cookery

Author: Carmel Kavenagh

For generations of Irish people around the world, traditional Irish cookery is the taste of their childhood. This cookbook is for them - and for everyone else who envies Ireland's reputation for quality, wholesome, satisfying foods. Ireland is a country where culinary traditions were shaped by a climate, and an economy, that was in turn both unpredictable and demanding. Conditions that could have stifled creativity in fact inspired originality - and turned the humble potato into a culinary work of art.

As an island nation blessed with lush pastures, the Emerald Isle boasts a wealth of seafood and first-class beef, dairy products and fresh produce. This book makes the most of them all, proving there's a lot more to Irish cooking than the famous and ever-popular Irish Stew - although of course you'll find that here too. So take your tastebuds browsing through these pages, and rediscover your appetite for a taste tradition with the staying power only the truly great deserve - through recipes like these. It's comfort food with style. You wouldn't want it any other way.
