Meat has been central to Irish food culture for thousands of years. This collection of over fifty inspiring recipes features beef, lamb, pork, poultry, game, and dishes using cured, spiced and smoked meats. Choose from favourites such as Irish Stew, Michaelmas roast goose or bacon and cabbage; local specialities like Cork crubeens and Dingle pies. Recipes from leading Irish chefs put a modern twist on traditional dishes: roast loin of farmed boar stuffed with poitin-soaked prunes and black pudding mash, beef and oyster pies with stout, air-dried Connemara lamb with wild Irish salad, beef fillet baked in a turf crust, and roast haunch of venison with rowan jelly.

Details of customs, folklore and Irish regional food traditions provide a fascinating background to the recipes.
