33 Year Round Irish Recipes - Noshing With the Nolands (2024)

Every year, without fail, Irish recipes surge in popularity in the weeks before St. Patrick’s Day. You don’t need to wait for a holiday to enjoy some home-cooked Irish comfort food. These recipes are great any day of the year – the hearty stews, traditional bread, and easy desserts and drinks will bring out the Irish food fans in your family. To that end, I have gathered 33 Year Round Irish Recipesfor you to enjoy at any time, but I don’t blame you if you want to make all of them right now!

My grandmother was Irish and I grew up with her scrumptious hot out of the cast iron pan Potato Scones or Potato Pancakes. Although she never wrote down the recipes (like many good cooks of her generation she never used a recipe), I think the two I’ve included below are as close to hers as possible.

When I eat them, if I close my eyes, it’s almost like being back in her kitchen. These two have been a favorite of mine for years but there are so many others now for me to choose from. I’ve included everything from Champ-Topped Vegetable Beef Guinness Casseroleto One Pot Bacon Braised Lamb Stew for mains.

I must say that I find all of the bread particularly appetizing – there are a few variants on the traditional Irish soda bread and I recommend trying all of them. The desserts run the gamut from cookies to mousse cups and many feature Irish beer or coffee – it’s amazing how a little Guinness can deepen the flavor of chocolate and how coffee (especially Irish coffee with Baileys or other Irish Cream) can add a layer of flavor to most desserts.

Finally, the drinks category contains a quartet of recipes that, in true Irish style, all involve either Baileys or Irish whiskey and are a great treat at the end of an Irish themed meal.
