Irish Family Food

Ruth Isabel Ross has gathered together a wonderful collection of recipes that includes all that is best about Irish home cooking.

Family food in Ireland was planned to warm, to satisfy and to console. The food, with local variations was wholesome, nourishing and plain, just tasting of itself. Ingredients were fresh and cooking was slow and gentle, bringing out every flavour.

Potato soups, fish cakes, Irish stew, bacon and cabbage, colcannon are just some of the dozens of delicious recipes that invoke the best of Irish traditional cooking and Irish ingredients.
