Purchase options and add-ons

Talk about the luck of the Irish! One of the most beloved of Irish institutions (there are more than one thousand in Dublin alone), the traditional pub has served generations as the venue for local gossip, sporting news, a ceilidh or two, literary soirees, real estate deals, political debates, revolutionary plots, and, lest we forget, for knocking back a pint of Guinness or a "ball of malt." The food's not bad eitheras The Irish Pub Cookbook so deliciously demonstrates. It's a celebration of over 70 pub classics: thick soups and stews; savory tarts and meaty pies; big bowls of salad (times change!); and desserts of the seconds-are-always-appropriate variety. There's shepherd's pie, fish and chips, seafood chowder, and whiskey bread pudding for those with a taste for the quintessential. Contemporary specialties such as Bacon, Blue Cheese, and Courgette Soup; Salmon Cakes with Dill and Wine Sauce; Braised Lambshanks with Red Currants; and White Chocolate Terrine spotlight modern Irish cooking's richly deserved acclaim. Complete with pub photos, history, and lore, nobody leaves hungry when The Irish Pub Cookbook is in the kitchen.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Imagine walking into a 400-year-old Irish watering hole with a thatched roof and open fire, the floor strewn with timber shavings and the walls packed with bric-a-brac, sliding into a snug for a pint and a hotchpotch, and instead being served Caramelized Duck Breast with Pineapple Chutney followed by White Chocolate Terrine. As in The Irish Heritage Cookbook, Johnson continues on her mission to inform Americans that contemporary Irish cooking means not just a rustic, stick-to-your-ribs Irish Stew with Brown Soda Bread, but also Green Tomato Tarte Tatin, as original and sophisticated as one found anywhere in Europe. The book reads like a tourist itinerary for hungry pub crawlers (if only it were arranged by county and in a portable format) and shares history on favorite pubs and their famous and infamous patrons and proprietors. Leigh Beish's full-page photos deliver elegant interpretations of humble pub grub like Bacon and Cabbage, and Ploughman's Lunch. It's inevitable that the recipes cover some well-trod territory, since it's difficult to imagine an Irish cookbook omitting Shepherd's Pie, but "Blackboard Specials" like Bacon, Blue Cheese, and Courgette Soup tend toward the global gourmet, and some were even developed by Bord Bia, the Irish Food Board, to promote traditional Irish products to modern chefs and consumers.

Aye, it's grand!

My hubby & I visited Ireland last year. We traveled about 75% around the coastal regions of the island enjoying great beauty, food and people all along the way. When we returned home I wanted to recapture some of those great memories with food. This book fit the bill. Every recipe I've tried so far has tasted very authentic to what we experienced during our visit. We especially enjoyed the Seafood Chowders and Brown Breads readily available just about everywhere we visited. Recipes for both are included in this book and taste just like the "real thing".
You don't have to be a wiz in the kitchen to prepare these delicious recipes and substitution recommendations are included for those that can't get their hands on authentic ingredients.
I highly recommend you add this book to your recipe collection! Give it a whirl before St. Patty's Day.

Great and easy recipes. Wish it had a photo of each recipe so I knew what they were supposed to look like. Think something is off for the one stew recipe. Came out wrong each time I've tried it. Highly recommend the fish & chips and lamp chops recipes.

I will cook for myself rather than starve. So this purchase was a matter of survival. What a nice surprise! Irish pub fare is simple good food (comfort food for many) and the accompanying text is great fun to read and get more background on the culture that produced these recipes. And, Yes I have tested several as a means of survival.

The book is very well laid out and easy to follow ~ excellent receipts through-out, those tried are very tasty and Paddy Burkes Pepper Soup comes to mind being especially delicious served with a large slice of Soda Bread.
Some of the ingredients listed as in 'Half and Half' are not readily known, a quick check on the internet solved this problem.

Irish cooking?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2017

Sorry but I find it difficult to accept that this is Irish cooking. Some of the recipes call for 'canned low sodium chicken or beef broth ' to be added. I'm Irish and I've never heard of this.
