Some Saint Patrick’s Day Recipes

By Joy Wielland

This book covers the traditional Saint Patrick Day meal of corned beef and cabbage explaining how to buy, trim and cook the traditional beef brisket, but also offers alternative cuts and uses of beef and other meats with instructions on how to quickly ‘corn’ them at home. Included are recipes for sides, such as salads, scones and soda bread, and leftovers as well as budget and/or time saving substitute dinners to keep the spirit of the holiday while fitting it into a busy weekday schedule. There are fun desserts too, like Pistachio Marble Cake and, of course, Irish Coffee.
