Long known for its humble, hearthside cooking, Ireland is now running full-steam ahead in its flourishing culinary and economic renaissance. The newfound prosperity, familiarly known as the “Celtic Tiger,” has found its way into Irish kitchens as well, and the results are wonderful. To celebrate, Bord Bia, the Irish Food Board frequently invites chefs from at home and abroad to devise new ways to utilize Ireland’s bounty of simple, fresh, and wholesome ingredients.
From now through St. Patrick’s Day, we’ll take a look at some highly original, mouth-watering interpretations of Irish cuisine, starting with some meatless dishes to serve during Lent. The recipes are provided by the Irish Dairy Board and Bord Bia. Some are available in a new recipe leaflet “A Taste of Today’s Ireland.”
In the U.S., consumers can request the recipes by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to : A Taste of Today’s Ireland, c/o Belvedere Communications, P.O. Box 323, 1562 First Avenue, New York, NY 10028.
