Essential Irish Farmhouse Cookery

This very bijoux book makes a lovely souvenir of a visit to Ireland. It revels in the best of the meat and two veg style of home cooking, many of us grew up with. Unsurprisingly, there is a whole section on potatoes, as well as home baking, desserts, preserves, and special occasion dishes. More surprisingly, there is a section on homemade drinks that includes mostly foraged ingredients. 

This style of hearty farmhouse cookery makes the most of local produce, and while there may be plenty to debate to be had between the method and ingredients of various dishes, these 100 recipes are a great reminder of the beauty and pleasure of simple dishes that rely on good fresh ingredients for buckets of flavour.
