We're all a little Irish today.
And this day more than any other we dream of visiting our adoptive homeland. New Yorker Patricia Tunison Preston, an "Ireland Expert" who has been a regular visitor of Ireland for over 40 years, brings about daydreams galore in her book Ireland Memories, in which she shares with us a variety of dishes from her travels. These recipes, that include "New Irish" cuisine, are simple and easy to recreate and share over a bit of a chat with family and friends.
Whether one is fortunate enough to have already visited Ireland (which boasts 6 million visitors annually), planning to take a tour in the near future, or if you are like me and you are just an enthusiastic "armchair traveler" that may never set foot on the Emerald Isle, you are sure to enjoy this collection that includes it all. You'll find the delectable foods, wonderful descriptions of the Irish countryside, interesting historical and cultural glimpses, and fanciful watercolor prints all inspiring and delightful.
