Complete Book of Irish Country Cooking: Traditional and Wholesome Recipes from Ireland

I have always been fascinated by the homey and satisfying food of traditional Irish cooking. This book is full of information on different traditional Irish dishes. There are no contemporary or imaginative dishes in here, and many don't sound very appetizing.(does oatmeal soup sound good to anyone?) That is not the point of this book though. The point is to preserve the dishes that the earliest settlers in Ireland lived off of, and to preserve the Irish heritage in doing so. Miss Allen puts a large emphasis on using seasonal, organic ingredients that are naturally available to you. If you're interested in traditional Irish cookery, this book is well worth the money.

A very nice cookbook,with plenty of color photos & clear concise instructions,covers all the food groups,beautifully done.

The best of Irish country cooking all in one volume! Stews,Casseroles, nourishing natural country foods.Excellent!
