Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone. It's time to celebrate with a pint of Guinness, an Irish Coffee and some Irish food. Irish Traditional Cooking: Over 300 Recipes from Ireland's Heritage is a collection of recipes that embody Irish cuisine - and there is a lot more to it than simple renditions of cabbage and potatoes! The book is divided up into chapters more by type (Soups, Desserts, Oatmeal and Grains, etc.) than by ingredient or season, although the meats generally have chapters to themselves (Poultry, Lamb, Beef, Offal, etc.). This makes it easy to find a dish to suit your needs when flipping through it.
In addition to helpful organization, the recipes are extremely well explained and even the complex ones are easy to follow. Considering who the author is, this isn't surprising. Darina Allen, the cookbook's author, runs the Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork, has been on numerous TV programs and won the ICAP's Cooking Teacher of the Year award in 2005, so she is more than well-versed in the art of teaching people how to cook. She intersperses the recipes with cooking tips and background on the ingredients, cooking techniques and history of dishes. Helpful to those new to Irish cooking is the "Irish Pantry" section of the book, where Allen goes through all the staples than Irish cooks might keep at home and how to go about making them.
