Product Description

It is often said that bread is the stuff of life but it is high time to forget about store bought bread and indulge in a little home baking! The Best of Irish Breads and Baking delights in the wonders of home baking by gathering together the best recipes of both traditional and contemporary recipes. Breads and Baking covers all aspects of the baking process, from the very best of breads, bracks, scones, puddings and preserves to their storage, usage and life span.

An invaluable delight to both professional and novice alike, the author includes a fascinating history of the Irish breadmaking tradition. Recipes range from old favorites, such as Irish brown soda bread, blackberry jelly, Irish tea-cake and Irish whiskey cake to the more unusual treats such as Ballylickey Yummy Cake and Ballymaloe Walnut Meringue.

A very useful aspect of The Best of Irish Breads and Baking will be the "Festive Fares" section which contains recipes which can be used on many festive occasions like Hallowe'en, Christmas, Easter and Irish style Weddings.
