Appetizers & Snacks: Nothing goes to waste in the Irish kitchen, including buttermilk - the thin liquid left over after churning butter. It has a pleasing, tangy flavor and is a main ingredient in Irish baking. Similar to drop biscuits in thickness, buttermilk pancakes have a slightly crisp, golden crust and a fluffy center. Eighteen other delicious soups, chowders, toasts, and other snacks are featured as well.

Entrees: Like many traditional Irish lamb dishes, this is nourishing and delicious and made with an economical cut. The meat is slow-roasted at low heat until almost falling off the bone. Light and fluffy herb-flavored dumplings mop up the flavorsome juices. One of nearly twenty exciting traditional entrees included.

Vegetables & Sides: Soda bread has long been a staple in Ireland. It is a bread made without yeast, because baking soda mixed with buttermilk is used as a leavening agent. A cross is cut into the top of the bread to help it rise and, according to Irish folklore, to either ward off evil or let the fairies out. It is one of nineteen vegetables and sides recipes that will surely not disappoint.

Desserts & Drinks: Hot, whiskey-spiked orange juice is topped with Ireland's favorite ingredients: thick cream and crunchy toasted oats. Serve it as a special nightcap on a chilly winter evening. The Hot Toddy is one of thirteen featured cakes, pudding, ice creams, and drinks that will offer a perfect end to your meal.
