Praise for Best of Irish Traditional Cooking

'Written by one of the country's best known food writers, Biddy White Lennon, Best of Irish Traditional Cooking suggests ways of cooking Irish foods with a modern flair. It also has the author's unique stamp on it, with observations, anecdotes and little bits of information.' Dublin Echo

'Three well-planned and pleasant little resources for the kitchen, all helpfully devoting one page to each recipe, with a background note, ingredients and method ... substantial collections of good recipes to which you will find yourself turning much more often than to the extravagant and showy cookbooks with their glistening colour photos and stylish spoofery.' Books Ireland
