The book opens with a fascinating introduction to the history of Irish food and cooking and how the landscape and various events have shaped Irish cuisine.

A comprehensive guide to the Irish kitchen then looks at the culinary specialities, including dairy products, breads and drinks, which are now exported all over the world, as well as the everyday ingredients.

The collection of over 70 authentic step-by-step dishes captures the delicious, home-cooked flavours of Irish cooking. Recipes include meat, poultry and game, fish and vegetables, and there are chapters on the breakfasts, soups, first courses, cakes and desserts, and drinks.

A variety of traditional dishes include oatmeal pancakes with bacon, lamb and vegetable broth, Dublin lawyer, Irish stew, Michaelmas goose with apple stuffing, beef and Guinness casserole, apple pie and rich, fruity porter cake.

The book also features regional classics like roast loin of boar with poitin-soaked prunes, corned beef with dumplings and cabbage, fraughan mousse, and Gaelic coffee.
