    Made the Whiskey Chicken and Colcannon for St Paddy's Day 2022 and both were fairly simple and delicious. The Whiskey sauce is a a creamy and savory sauce basically pan drippings de-glazed with whiskey (Irish, of course) and finished off with heavy cream - perfect with the roast chicken and some bread for dipping.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Beef and barley stew

    • Acarroll on July 20, 2023

      I cut down the amount of meat (I usually do in recipes like this) and increased the carrots. Good decision. Next time I would half the amount of barley. Flavor was great. I used bison instead of beef, and the bison was a bit chewy.

  • Fish and chips

    • JimCampbell on January 02, 2024

      The batter for the fish and chips was good. The baking soda added some crunchiness and crispness to the fish coating. We seasoned the fish (rock cod) with Old Bay and let it sit for a 1/2 hours or so prior to dipping it in the batter and frying. The chips we did in a different manner, baking them instead of frying. Olive oil, salt, pepper, 1/2 hour at 450, turning half way through for even browning. We did drop the chips in the oil after the fish were done, for a minute or so, just to do a final crisping.

  • Cottage or shepherd's pie

      Not too bad. Pretty standard recipe. I used ground turkey as opposed to ground beef or lamb.

Publishers Text

From hearty roasts to innovative vegetable dishes, from trays of fresh-baked scones to rich, eggy cakes, and from jams bursting with tart fruit to everything you can do with a potato, there's no food so warm and welcoming, so homey and family-oriented, so truly mouthwatering as real Irish food.
