Summary: Period photographs of the green and mellow land of Yeats and Lady Gregory, of AE and Oliver St. John Gogarty; the populous Dublin which has changed little since the era of Charles Stuart Parnell adn the gusty days and nights of James Joyce. Recipes drawn from all sections of Irish life, both rural and urban; many are still cooked daily; otheres are familiar names, and seldom appear outside private homes.
Try: Bookmaker's Sandwich, Dublin Coddle, or Boxty, a tasty potato dish from Tipperary, Soused Herrings, Prattie Oaten, Grilled Mackerel with Gooseberry Sauce, Dublin Lawyer (a lobster drenched in Irish whiskey and then set alight), etc.
