Description:
Monica Sheridan brings Irish food traditions to life through recipes, menus, and cooking lore. The book includes familiar dishes such as Dublin coddle and Irish soda bread, along with chapters on soups, fish, meats, vegetables, baking, and desserts. Reisie Lonette’s drawings add warmth to this 1965 hardcover, introduced by Robert Briscoe, former Mayor of Dublin.

Why We Love This Book:
This is more than a collection of recipes. Its menus, stories, and charming illustrations capture a particular moment in Irish home cooking, while the original jacket gives the book its unmistakable midcentury character.
