Irish Food and Country Life

A coffee table book full of recipes, stories and photographs that looks back at the Irish diet and rural way of life and its traditions up to the 1960s.

With nostalgia and sentiment kept to a minimum the book uniquely illustrates the connection between indigenous wholesome Irish foods and a disappeared way of life.

Anyone who remembers (or remembers their own parents and grandparents remembering!) will be interested in this trip down memory lane.

Many of these stories have appeared in Ireland’s Own.

Recipes and period photographs throughout.
