    Quick Facts

    • Who wrote it: Cathal Armstrong & David Hagedorn

    • Who published it: Ten Speed Press

    • Number of recipes: 130

    • Other highlights:

    This cookbook is arranged not around particular meals of the day or key ingredients, but rather around occasions and celebrations: rugby matches, birthdays, Fish Fridays, and yes, Saint Patrick’s Day. I feel like this message of “a meal is to be shared” is almost as central to this cookbook as potatoes, seafood and good Irish cream.

    I admit that I don’t know much about how “real” Irish cuisine looks or tastes. Until I can get there myself, this cookbook with its gorgeous photos and tasty-sounding recipes seems like a fantastic way to start.
