Of all the countries my sister and I visited on a trip through Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland nearly 2 years ago, we both agree that the best food experiences took place in Ireland. Nothing against the other three, but for some reason the Irish just seem to know how to throw a good, hearty meal together. Thanks to my “Little Irish Cookbook” and the simplicity of most of their dishes, I’ve delved into this cuisine at home fairly successfully too. One of my favorites is Irish soda bread – very easy to make and a tasty addition to any kind of soup or stew.
