This shared culture is beautifully presented through anecdotes, insights and memories drawn from decades of Irish emigrants and Irish-Americans adapting and preparing the same recipes their ancestors once did. You are now invited to share in all that Irish cuisine has to offer. From filling meals to delicious desserts, each recipe is a showcase of how Irish food has continued to capture and delight hundreds of miles from its homeland.
