Parsnip and Apple Soup

October 12, 2014 by Irish American Mom 7 Comments

Parsnip and apple soup in a shamrock bowl garnished with parsnip chips

Parsnips and apples, with a hint of curry, compliment each other perfectly in this creamy soup. The pairing of parsnips with apples intensifies their sweetness, with an added underlying warmth from the curry powder, making this soup truly satisfying. I love curry flavor, like many Irish people.  A teaspoon of mild curry powder, a hint […]

Bowl of Irish potato and leek soup with sliced brown bread

Once Labor Day has passed, and fall is in the air, it’s time to start thinking about soup. There’s nothing like a bowl of chunky, satisfying soup on a nippy day, to warm the cockles of your heart. Soups come in all colors, textures, and tastes. In fact, I think it’s safe to say there’s […]

Beans On Toast – An Easy Lunchtime Staple For Irish Moms

August 9, 2014 by Irish American Mom 33 Comments

Beans in red sauce served on a slice of toast for lunch

Beans on toast featured regularly on my lunchtime menu as an Irish kid – a simple, nutritious meal I’m quite certain continues to be eaten regularly by many Irish and English children. An American friend once asked me about Irish lunchtime menus. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the all-American, easy, lunchtime staple. No PB […]

Summer Pudding

July 3, 2014 by Irish American Mom 14 Comments

a strawberry and summer fruit summer pudding from Ireland

Summer pudding, packed with juicy fresh berries, is one of my all time favorite desserts of the summer. This pudding looks spectacular when plated, giving the impression it’s a pretty complicated recipe, but making this classically English dessert is so much easier than it looks.  It’s so easy in fact, I think it’s a perfect […]

How To Cook Rutabaga Or Turnip Irish Style

November 14, 2012 by Irish American Mom 287 Comments

Yellow servings of mashed rutabaga for Thanksgiving dinner

Rutabaga is a very popular vegetable in Ireland, but the name is never used by the Irish to describe this favorite side for a chicken roast, ham or bacon dinner. The Irish call this root vegetable a turnip.  The English call it a swede, and in Scotland it is often called a neep. The term […]

Irish Potato Cakes

Three Irish potato cakes frying in a cast iron skillet

Potato cakes are a perfect way to use up left-over mashed potatoes.  Known as tattie scones in Scotland, potato scones in the Isle of Man, or fadge in parts of Northern Ireland, these savory, fried potato patties make a great side dish. Whenever I cook mashed potatoes I make extra, because I love potato cakes.  […]

Cream and jam filled Irish sponge cake with a dusting of confectioner's or icing sugar

Irish sponge cake is a light and delicate egg sponge filled with a layer of jam and lots of luscious cream, with a light dusting of confectioners’ sugar on top.  I loved this cake when I was growing up in Ireland. This cake recipe requires no butter.  That’s right! A butter free cake! You may […]

Hot Cross Buns

Five hot cross buns lined up in the shape of a cross

Hot cross buns are an Irish and English Easter tradition.  Soft, spiced and fruited yeast rolls, they are marked with a cross to symbolize the crucifix, and are baked and served on Good Friday. As a child I made hot cross buns with my mom.  Unlike their American counterparts, crossed with sugary frosting, we used […]
