“The Complete Book of Irish Country Cooking- Traditional and Wholesome Recipes from Ireland”

 

This gorgeous coffee table book written by Darina Allen presents more than 300 recipes for native Irish dishes; embellished with comments, history, and amusing anecdotes from Chef Allen. More than a mere recipe book, it’s a record of how the Irish live, their farming heritage, and cooking skills to be preserved and passed down the generations. Generously illustrated with photos of the Emerald Isle herself, it’s a lovely leisure-time read!
