Irish Spirit Cookbook

$12.00 $10.99

Additional Details

Description: Shrimp and scallops gently poached in whiskey; tender brisket simmered in ale and topped with a golden cheese cobbler; old-time pineapple upside-down cake glazed in toffee liqueur. The delicious dishes of Ireland only get more scrumptious with a drop of the "bevvies" to bring out the flavors. Stout and beer, cider and liqueurs, and, of course, whiskey transform these treats into something truly extra-special. 

There's everything here from soups to desserts, everynight suppers to perfect-for-company dinners. Onion soup gets a decidedly Irish flavor with the addition of some malty stout. Mead and chopped apple give the quick-to-prepare Craggaunowen Chicken, a dish modeled after those served at medieval banquets, its alluring sweetness. For a fancy St. Patrick's Day party, what about an Irish version of Oysters Rockefeller, drizzled with Guinness sabayon, followed by fork-tender ham basted with cider glaze? And there's always room for a slice of chocolate-walnut-caramel tart when it's made with a shot of whiskey. 

While the Lamb Follain (it's the orange whiskey marmalade that's the secret) is simmering on the stove, you can enjoy reading the history of Irish whiskey, fascinating stories of classic events like Belfast's popular Pub Crawl, and the origins of the infamous "black and tans." Add wonderful photographs of scenic Ireland and this classic cookbook is sure to bring the Irish spirit to life in your own home.
