Welcome
I am glad you are here! Failte!
This page is all about traditional, real, Irish Cooking. By this I mean the foods of our grandparents and great grandparents. The foods and drinks of celebration. Not something that just sounds Irish or is marketed as Irish but things that are done and have been done through time. I am also not concerned with just the ancient Celtic. Irish cookery is a layer cake. Sometimes layers get mixed and that is good but you have your choice. Lots of choices- we just focus on the older ones here. We are also not just concerned with recipes but with the contexts of celebrations that they accompany- music, verse, stories.
I hope you will be joining in from time to time and that this blog will help you to feed your roots and intensify making real your participation in what we call Irish Culture.
