Irish Baking Book

Favourites such as Irish brown bread, soda bread and scones are included along with recipes for fruit breads, cakes, biscuits, puddings, pies and savoury dishes. Many of the recipes in this collection have been made in Irish homes for hundreds of years and the author has included recipes that were made for certain feasts and days such as Boxty, traditionally server on All Saints’ Day, or Barm Brack , eaten on 1 February (St Brigid’s Day) and on Hallow’een. The last section is for simple ‘no flour’ bakes and includes savoury and sweet recipes.

These wonderful wholesome and traditional recipes have been carefully collected and baked by Ruth Isabel Ross over many years. This is good, plain, wholesome, traditional cooking at its best.
