So many great recipes here, and not just the familiary old sauces and side dishes. These are totally usable, and even though it might be tough to find some ingredients here in the States, the techniques are universal, and there's enough variety in both recipes and techniques to keep anyone happy.

If I can't find the recipes anywhere else, Darina will always have them in here. An Irish staple and a must for any cookery library! ( )
