It is quite a common assumption that Irish culinary talents extend no further than the preparation of potatoes and the brewing of strong whiskey. This belief, however, is erroneous, as the rich and diverse offerings in Traditional Irish Recipes demonstrate.Included in this beautifully designed cookbook are dozens of wonderful, authentic Irish recipes for soups, fish, meat, vegetables, bread and cakes, sweets, and drinks, all presented in artist George L. Thomson's elegant calligraphy. Accenting each page are stunning designs conceived in the spirit of the illuminators of the Book of Kells. Each of the seventy-one dishes is featured on a single page, affording a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
