She leads you through menu plans for cocktail parties and traditional Christmas dinners using spectacular Irish cheeses, breads, meats and game, baked delicacies, and spirits. She shares her own recipes along with specialties of some of the most renowned chefs of Ireland. I will use it as a go-to planner for not only holiday menus, but for year-round gatherings as well.”
