Review by Booklist Review

The Irish have always been fabled for their storytelling prowess, and here Taylor combines tales of Irish life with dozens of recipes typical of the Emerald Isle's cuisine. Ten very short and evocative stories portray the structure of everyday life in the little Ulster town of Ballybucklebo. A physician himself, Taylor has created Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly, who ministers to village ills. Housekeeper Kinky Kincaid keeps household matters, doctor, and patients properly regimented with her quick-wittedness and acerbic humor. Both townspeople and occasional visitors provide endless sources for anecdote and local color. Recipes flow from the stories, and they will prove most satisfactory to cooks looking for dishes reflecting everyday tasty foods. Some recipes, such as his version of beef (or venison) Wellington, make for special Sunday fare, but familiar colcannon, champ, soda breads, and sticky toffee pudding return matters securely to the Auld Sod itself.--Knoblauch, Mark Copyright 2017 Booklist
