With Ireland’s rich culinary history it’s understandable that internationally recognized dishes such as Colcannon and Soda Bread should be seen as intrinsically Irish-but there is far more to discover about Irish cuisine. From sublimely fresh seafood to richly flavored meats and cheeses, the modern food scene in Ireland is buzzing with invention and innovation. In this beautiful volume, top Irish chef Coldagh McKenna guides you through 125 tempting recipes celebrating modern Ireland. Potato dumplings are given a new lease of life as Wild Nettle Gnocchi with Cashel Blue Sauce, while the famous Irish Breakfast is transformed into a tortilla. Clodagh also finds creative ways to use classic Irish flavors, from Irish Coffee Cookies to Baileys Irish Soda Bread Ice Cream. With everything from soups and stews to preserves and sophisticated dinner party dishes inspired by those she cooked for the Taoiseach of Ireland, plus simple yet effective presentation ideas and tablescaping, Clodagh’s Irish Kitchen is a mouth-watering around the sumptuous cuisine of the Emerald Isle.
