Publisher's Synopsis
This delightful recipe book celebrates old-fashioned Irish cooking that is enjoyed in farmhouses throughout the country. As well as providing recipes for traditional favourites such as soda bread and bacon and cabbage, the book includes plenty of traditions and history. For example, did you know that when making the annual Christmas cake, everyone in the house took a turn to stir the mixture for good luck, or that eating barm brack at Halloween could predict your fortunes for the rest of the year? The Irish Granny is on hand to teach you all you need to know about country cooking.
