New Irish Table: 70 Contemporary Recipes

Additional Details

Description: At the top of the list of favorite travel destinations, Ireland is also in the midst of an exciting culinary revolution. Professional chefs and home cooks are taking Old World ingredients -- farmhouse cheeses; beef, lamb, and pork; wild fruits and berries; locally produced dairy products -- and creating exciting new recipes with contemporary flair. 

Time-honored foods like oak-smoked salmon, black and white puddings, fluffy potatoes, and fruit-filled tarts bursting with flavor have been the fabric of Irish cooking for generations, and they're woven together more brilliantly than ever in Margaret M. Johnson's New Irish Table. 

Oysters arrive under a sabayon of Guinness. Cornish hens are enhanced with a tangy apricot, port, and balsamic sauce. Looking for something to serve special guests? Artisanal cheese transforms a simple chicken breast into an elegant meal. And for dessert, humble brown soda bread is reinvented into an unusually delicious creme brulee. 

This culinary and photographic odyssey around the Emerald Isle offers new experiences and fresh perspectives of the cuisine of Ireland.
