Summary: The Irish Heritage Cookbook
Review: I bought this book for some ideas for St Pat's day. Now I use it all the time. The Irish stew tastes just like it did in a pub in Ireland. My sons love the guinnes beef stew. My co-workers have borrowed it to make some of the recipes as well. And tonite I'm making the oatmeal apple crisp. Even if you are not irish, you'll wish you were after eating some of these delicious meals.

Summary: Great book! Authentic recipes!
Review: I bought this book to gather recipes for my gourmet cooking group for our Irish Pub theme. Wow - was I impressed. Lots of really wonderful recipes that I can hardly wait to try. All the things that usually come to mind when you think of Irish cooking are here - Corned Beef and Cabbage, Lamb dishes, Salmon, even Cockles and Mussles! But there is so much more - really creative, delicious recipes that are like Irish food on steroids. Easy to follow recipes, no really funky, hard-to-find ingredients. While I always wish for pictures, each recipe has a descriptive paragraph with a little background on its origins.

Review: I didn't particularly like this book, I'm more into traditional cooking and these recipes were a little too trendy/nouveau for my preferences. I think if you are interested in non-traditional Irish cooking you would probably enjoy this book.

Summary: The Irish Heritage Cookbook
Review: This is a wonderful cookbook! It has an excellent combination of traditional recipes along with recently developed recipes. The author's Irish-American background has aided in making the lists of ingredients practical by including resources for Irish ingredients as well as substitutions that are most likely already in our kitchens. There is a good variety of root vegetable recipes. There are many main dish fish recipes balanced with a variety of beef, chicken, pork, and lamb recipes. There are several soda bread recipes to choose from. The dessert recipes are mostly fruit based and use a great deal of apples.

Although there are no pictures in this cookbook, each recipe has a lead in paragraph about the recipe and some even contain serving suggestions. I think it is a useful cookbook for the experienced cook who likes to try ethnic dishes as well as for the novice cook who looks for simple, fresh ingredients and easy procedures.
