Irish Kitchen

Welcome to the Irish Kitchen

Ireland has undergone a culinary revolution. Always maintaining a healthy respect for meals made from the freshest ingredients, it has made strides in the creation of new and exciting tastes that are intrinsically and deliciously indigenous.

Irish Raisin Soda Bread
Contributed by irish American mom Mairead Geary
Ireland is famous for delicious soda bread made with simple ingredients. It gets its name from the bicarbonate of soda or baking soda used as the leavening agent.

My grandmother baked soda bread every weekday. Sunday alone was her day of rest. By the time I came to watch her mid-morning bread-making ritual as a little girl, her fingers were arthritic and gout-ridden. Yet as I observed the rhythm of her toil, her hands never failed her. She lovingly formed perfect dough, her fingers never forgetting the swirling, kneading motions she learned as a child. I am eternally grateful to her for teaching me how to make this traditional Irish bread.

Flavors of Ireland by Margaret Johnson
More than 70 authentic recipes fill the beautiful pages of Flavors of Ireland: Celebrating Grand Places and Glorious Food. The book is part recipe collection, part travel guide and part history lesson. “Flavors of Ireland offers a unique look into the ingredients that shape the country’s cooking,” says Johnson, who has written hundreds of food and travel pieces for magazines around the world. “Ireland has a distinctive food culture thanks to its geography, climate and rich history.”
