Title: So delicious they're downright amazing!!
Review: This book was worth the purchase for the Shepard's Pie all on its own. We've not tried many others but darn, that Shepard's Pie is startlingly impressive. We made it on several different occasions and each time we've been asked to share the recipe. I want to make it for my grandfather who's own grandmother was described by many as "a d@mn fine Irish cook". Both of his grandparents were from Ireland and he has fond memories of eating traditional Irish food. I'd like to know how this stacks up against her recipe!

Title: A Great Find in Canada!
Review: My husband and I were given the gift of My Irish Table by my sister when we lived in Ireland. There are a number of excellent, delicious, and authentic Irish meals ready to enjoy using this cookbook. We like it so much that we bought it for my sister now that we're back in Canada. It will be her Christmas present this coming year. What an easy, and enjoyable way to shop for special people.

Title: This was a St. Patrickâs Day hit!
Review: Some friends and I started a cookbook club, and we adopted this cookbook for our March get together on St. Patrickâs Day. Since I chose the book, I thought I would provide a review. We started with the potato leek soup and Irish soda bread, which were both absolutely delicious and a huge hit! I made the chicken casserole as our main dish, which was very easy to make and got rave reviews. I chose to use all chicken thighs for this so it would cook evenly, and I was able to do the whole thing from start to finish in about 2 1/2 hours. We had lots of side veggies, including the glazed carrots, the cold asparagus with poached egg, the cauliflower with cheese sauce, the mashed potato colcannon (delish) and the scones (amazing for breakfast the next day too!). The only two recipes that didnât pan out 100% were the desserts. Mind you this could have been user error, we are amateurs, but the apple crumble was a bit runny and the pineapple upside down cake was very oily from all the butter. We still managed to consume a lot of both of these with a dish of vanilla ice cream. 🙂 This was the only thing keeping me from giving it five stars. Beautifully illustrated, and lots of interesting stories throughout. Highly recommend this if you are trying to expand your Irish cooking repertoire!

Title: Great Recipes and Tales of an Irish Childhood
Review: I love the cookbook. Not only does one get lots of great Irish recipes, tales of the author's childhood in Ireland are interspersed among them. The photographs are beautiful and entice the reader to make the recipes. Along with simple, easy to follow and to prepare recipes, the author has included some more challenging and complex recipes for dishes he serves at his restaurant. All in all a great Irish cookbook.

Title: I enjoy the recipes & the instructional way they are presented
Review: I enjoy the recipes & the instructional way they are presented. Also enjoy the personal narratives. The author could have tempered his self effusive, puffed-up view of himself abit; we already know you're a success Cathal!! Remains however, one of the best Irish cook books available

Title: Hard to prepare meals. Looking for more mainstream. Not my cup of tea.
Review: Too fancy recipes donât fit everyday meals. Author expounded too much on preparing meals for the Obama and not enough on simple irish recipes. Some may like it but I like simple everyday meals.

Review: I fell in love with this book when I had it on loan from the library - tried a few recipes and they were great so had to get my own copy! Like the fact there are resources listed in the back of the book and that it caters to the north American market so you can actually get all the ingredients!
