Ballykissangel Cookbook

Traditional Irish Recipes from County Wicklow
The Home Of Ballykissangel

An evocative collection of traditional and modern Irish recipes, created by Aidan Dempsey who owned and cooked at the 'Old Coach House' restaurant in the Vale of Avoca. The restaurant was the base for the TV crew during the filming of Ballykissangel and Aidan's memories of that.

In this book, Aidan has researched and brought up to date many Wicklow and southern Irish recipes, all of which use the wonderful ingredients available locally.

Salmon and brown trout caught in the Avoca rivers, dabs and codling off the coastline, yearling sheep which graze off the mountain heather, and the fattened pigs on the farms and backyard sty's.

Then there are the apples, blackberries, chestnuts and hazelnuts which grow in the orchards and hedgerows.

The famous Irish Potato isn't forgotten either, with details of the many different ways of cooking them, along with the traditional COLCANNON.
