Customer Reviews

Beautiful addition to any cookbook collection
If you enjoy Irish cuisine or just want to try it this is an excellent cookbook to invest in. I received this just in time for St. Patty's Day and we enjoyed an excellent, traditional meal. Wonderful read as well.

I can't review the product
I have not received the product, I have found that Items not sent directly thru amazon do not arrive. I ordered many items that are shipped from Amazon and arrive with in a couple of days, on the other hand I have ordered a total of 5 items from outside vendors that never arrived.

A must have for any Irish food lover!
When I went to Ireland I fell in love with many of the traditional dishes. I have been holding off on buying any cookbooks because they didn't even come close to what I had eaten in Ireland. As soon as I saw this book I knew I had to have it. Its wonderful! It has hundreds of traditional, easy to follow recipes. So far, each one I have cooked tastes great and is just what I remember. The best part is the recipes are mixed with history and folklore of the country. Its amazing. I am even planning on giving them as gifts!
