A round loaf of Irish raisin soda bread with two slices cut from one quarter

Ireland is famous for delicious soda bread made with simple ingredients.  It gets its name from the bicarbonate of soda or baking soda used as the leavening agent. My grandmother baked soda bread every weekday.  Sunday alone was her day of rest.  By the time I came to watch her mid-morning bread-making ritual as a […]

Irish Tea Brack

Ingredients used to make tea brack

Brack is a traditional Irish cake baked at Halloween.  The name comes from the Irish word ‘breac’, which means speckled.  Fruit freckles every slice of this delicious cake or bread. What makes this cake so much fun is the tradition of baking trinkets inside.  I remember chewing each slice, hoping I would be the lucky […]

One of my fondest memories of Ireland is sitting down to an afternoon cup of tea and a hot buttered scone.  My mother makes delicious raisin tea scones, so when I lived in New York, I promptly tried to replicate her recipe, to impress my new husband. What I produced were nothing like the soft, […]
