Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Beef and barley broth

    • katiesue28 on January 03, 2022

      I found this to be very disappointing. The vegetables were nice, but I added lots of dried herbs, spices, and chicken buillon to add flavor to the broth. The beef was not very tender. I would suggest using precut stew beef vs. a whole chuck steak.

  • Skink soup

    • LeilaD on March 18, 2023

      Requires more broth

  • Irish rarebit

    • wkhull on December 25, 2019

      My mixture was too oily and thin, though very tasty (especially with the pickles). Upon further rarebit 101 reading, the oily/thin sauce might be prevented by not allowing the mix to come anywhere close to a boil. Melt the butter, add the cheese at a little at a time, taking your time. Then take off heat, and while toasting the bread consider tempering in a couple beaten egg yolks into the cheese mixture before topping on the bread for the final broil. Will be making this again!

  • Smoked mackerel and horseradish pate

    • wkhull on December 27, 2019

      I used 16 oz of smoked mackerel without adjusting any other ingredient amounts. Was nervous about adding juice of entire lemon and so much horseradish, but it ended up being a tangy but very good balance. Tasted great on super healthy high fiber crackers. Will definitely be putting this into the "don't feel like cooking dinner" arsenal.

  • Smoked salmon, dill and horseradish tartlets

    • kfrohoff on May 09, 2026

      Wondering if these could be frozen. Thinking probably not.

  • Irish stew

    • Bessp on March 27, 2026

      This was very simple to make, but pure comfort in a bowl. The broth thickened nicely and had a lovely clean flavor. I did it in the InstantPot because I am not a good planner, and I used lamb shanks because I already had some in the freezer. The meat was tender after 48 minutes at pressure plus a 15 minute rest before I vented it. I put the potatoes in at the end and boiled until done so they wouldn't turn to goo. One batch served two medium hungry people by itself.

  • Fish cakes

    • FunkyViriditas on June 09, 2023

      Made this twice. Extremely bland, even if you add salt and pepper. I added cayenne pepper and garlic powder out of desperation. I might try added chopped onion the next time. Some of the components are off. Use twice the amount of flour and 1/4 to 1/2 of the bread crumbs.

  • Colcannon

    • Solovyay on March 13, 2026

      Perfect, straightforward colcannon recipe. I make this all the time!

    • Weston on April 26, 2026

      pretty good

  • Potato cakes

    • Sandiegolemons on May 26, 2018

      I’ve been trying to find a potato cake recipe but none have hit it out of the park, unfortunately this one didn’t either. I did not use the optional egg but think it may help. It’s also very gummy with the amount of flour. Maybe it just needs a beer to go with it.

  • Irish soda bread

    • nadiam1000 on March 19, 2018

      The first recipe I made from this book and it came together easily and baked into a nice loaf. I baked 25 minutes and it could have used a few minutes more - center was a tad gummy but otherwise a nice crusty loaf which was delicious buttered with a bowl of soup.

  • Brown soda bread

    • lhudson on March 07, 2021

      Getting ready for St. Patty's day and gave this recipe a try along with the Irish Soda Bread. This was definitely the better of the two breads.

    • Baxter850 on March 24, 2024

      Made for St. Patty’s Day 2024. Surprisingly good. was good for 5 days as toast.
