Welcome to "The Irish Kitchen," a group dedicated to the celebration and expansion of traditional Irish cuisine  Glad to have you aboard.  This is the place to come for legit Irish recipes, culinary history, preparation / serving tips, etc.  We're going to try to keep things as authentic as possible around here.  We'll leave the corned beef & cabbage (which almost nobody here in Ireland knows anything about) for Paddy's Day.  That being said, food and beverage in modern Ireland have enjoyed a period of sustained innovation over the past two decades or so, and we want to reflect that here as well.   

If you have a great Irish recipe you've tried and would like to share, please do.  If you have one you'd like to try and want to share, please do.  Any time you try a recipe you've found here, please come back at some point and give us your impressions, and any suggestions you have that might improve the recipe.

Thanks, everyone ... this should be fun!

Every year I celebrate Chinese New Year by making about 100 Chinese Potstickers. They are delicious!

This year, I have decided to put an Irish spin on these puppies by stuffing them with corned beef and cabbage.


I haven't yet decided what kind of dipping sauce to serve with them but I have a few ideas of what things to try.


I have a panel of professional taste testers (a/k/a my family) who will be giving me feedback before I publish this recipe in the Irish Kitchen.

I really think that these Irish Potstickers are going to be a hit, so stay tuned!

My Mother often made homemade white sauce (a basic roux), and when my Father discovered curry powder in his later years, he put it in e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
