Once again, our friends have shared some delectable recipes with us to help you celebrate St. Paddy’s Day the right way.
This year, many of them contain spirits. For example, cookbook author Margaret M. Johnson’s “Gaelic Steak” is dressed with sautéed mushrooms and onions in whiskey sauce. It’s from her latest book, The Irish Spirit: Recipes Inspired by the Legendary Drinks of Ireland (Chronicle Books, 2006)
We also got non-alcoholic contributions from Bill McLaughlin, president of the Irish American Business Chamber and Network in Philadelphia and Wayne’s Agnes McCafferty, a longtime member of the Mayo Association of Philadelphia.
Thanks to all!
And New Jersey bartender and author Ray Foley’s “Shamrock Cocktail,” one of the more than 300 Irish cocktail recipes from his book, “The Best Irish Drinks” (Sourcebooks Inc., 2006), contains a healthy dose of Bushmills (my grandmother’s favorite Irish whiskey).
