Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Gingerbread

    • jammydodger on July 02, 2014

      This is a loaf-style gingerbread, easy to make and not too sweet. The chunks of stem ginger are what make it.

  • Parsnip cakes with crispy bacon

    • lesorelle on May 11, 2013

      Couldn't locate this recipe in my 2012 edition...

  • Jerusalem artichoke soup with crispy croûtons

  • Oven toasted cheese

    • twoyolks on February 25, 2014

      This is a nice simple variation on a grilled cheese. Be careful that the bottom doesn't burn.

  • Traditional Irish sherry trifle

    • twoyolks on March 26, 2019

      This was very boozy. The rest of the flavors were good but the alcohol was just too strong. I also found the egg custard a bit too thin to make this really work well.

  • Old fashioned marmalade

    • twoyolks on April 30, 2014

      This was extremely bitter even after adding significantly more sugar to the recipe than was called for.

  • White soda bread

    • hillsboroks on March 18, 2018

      This was one of the best tasting soda breads I have ever made with added bonus of being a very easy recipe to make. I followed the recipe exactly as written but added about 1/2 cup currants to the dry ingredients. The crust was a lovely brown and nice and crunchy while the interior was moist and flavorful.

  • Pan boxty

    • Fyretigger on April 23, 2023

      Grew up making latkes and wanted to try this as an alternative after seeing them on multiple cooking and travel shows. They were good, but I think I prefer latkes.

  • Irish barm brack

    • MacMerlin on June 07, 2020

      Traditional Samhain bread made in our household

Reviews about Recipes in this Book

  • Pan boxty

    • Leite's Culinaria

      The only way we can think to describe pan boxty? As hash browns’ answer fudgy brownies, with a crisp surface and a dense, moist but not greasy, almost but not quite gooey interior.
