Irish Recipes

Irish Recipes posts cover the home cooking that built up around the Irish farmhouse and pub kitchen. Articles look at proper Irish stew with mutton or lamb and root vegetables, colcannon and champ, brown soda bread without yeast, boxty potato pancakes, traditional fish chowder with smoked haddock from Cork, the Christmas spiced beef of the south coast, the Cork drisheen blood pudding, Dublin coddle of sausage and bacon, and the desserts including porter cake and barmbrack. There are also notes on the slow shift in modern Irish kitchens away from the boiled bacon tradition and toward New Irish cooking.
