Why We Like It

There is little of additional context or written history.  Instead this book is a collection of authentic recipes - many of which may be written here for the first time.  

Recipes handed down generations, submitted as favorites from people all over Ireland, are now in the little book.  Originally published in the U.K., it can now be purchased here in America as well.
