You are so very welcome!

Here you will find an Irish guy cooking, baking and laughing at himself - so, let's get in that kitchen!

 

Old recipes from home [Ireland] and new ones from here [NYC]. You're going to love them because they are delicious and you made it. Grew up in the beautiful southwest along the Atlantic Way. ​

Feel free to suggest any old favorites you may have had as a child - I may have a recipe. 

Go raibh míle maith agat =               Thanks very much!
