Editorial Reviews

“Taylor combines tales of Irish life with dozens of recipes typical of the Emerald Isle’s cuisine. Ten very short and evocative stories portray the structure of everyday life in the little Ulster town of Ballybucklebo….Recipes flow from the stories, and they will prove most satisfactory to cooks looking for dishes reflecting everyday tasty foods.”--Booklist
