What defines Irish cooking
Irish cooking grew out of a farming and coastal landscape, so it leans on what the land and sea provide close to home: potatoes, dairy, cabbage, root vegetables, and simply prepared meat and fish. Cooking methods favor slow braising and boiling, turning modest ingredients like potato, butter, and cabbage into hearty, warming meals rather than heavily spiced ones. A home cook encounters food built for comfort and economy, with dairy richness and simple touches like parsley standing in for elaborate seasoning.
