What Ireland Reminds Us About Food
|
When we think of world cuisine, Irish food usually isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But I just got back from a trip to Ireland and it made me reconsider what makes food truly satisfying. You don't need trendy recipes or fancy ingredients to eat well. We had stew, potatoes, chowder, cabbage, carrots and peas, along with some fish and chips. Simple, everyday food made with what's available. Even the menu displayed for a stately dinner at Muckross House (the kind you'd see on Downton Abbey) included soup, salmon, lamb, potatoes, peas, carrots and strawberry tartlets for dessort. Simple foods made deliciously. It reminded me that simple seasonal foods work anywhere, anytime! This is what we ate in Ireland. This week when you're wondering "what's for supper", consider leaning into simple favourites like some of these: Stew Shepherd's Pie - try it with tofu or meat The Ultimate Chowder - choose your fillings Want more comfort food recipes?
