Our Grannies Recipes: Favourite Irish Dishes

By Eoin Purcell

Our Grannies' Recipes is a collection of traditional favourites handed down from generation to generation. We all have recipes that are dear to our hearts, passed on to us from our grannies, grandads, great aunts and uncles. This book is the culmination of an effort to collect, document and sample those recipes. Collected online and by post from people across Ireland, the book is a true flavour of what Irish people value about cooking and baking in this changing island.

With a mix of sweet and savoury, full meals, snacks and desserts, Our Grannies’ Recipes is a charming book of Irish recipes for the whole family to enjoy and includes favourites such as: Apple Pie, Irish Beef Stew, Brown Bread, Pancakes and Chicken Soup
