These Irish recipes may not give you the luck of the Emerald Isle, but they will make St. Patrick’s Day that much more memorable.
Irish Soda Bread
A sweet nuttiness, a dense crumb, a crunchy crust, and bags more flavor than normal bread. Whatcha waiting for? Pan Boxty ~ Irish Potato Pancake
An Irish classic for a darn good reason. Actually, three reasons—it's shamelessly simple, flagrantly frugal, and undeniably delicious. Lovers of colcannon, rösti, latkes, and hash browns will find comfort here. Beef Pot Pie with Guinness
Essentially Irish stew with some lovely store-bought puff pastry plopped on top. Easy peasy. And almost elegant. Corned Beef Hash
David comes to understand that for some, corned beef hash is about far more than mere sustenance or ridding the fridge of leftovers. Far, far more. Colcannon ~ Potatoes and Cabbage
There are countless versions of this classic. We're partial to this recipe which gilds the potatoes and cabbage with kale and bacon and beer. Shepherd's Pie with Caramelized Onions and Cheddar
Let us introduce you to the most Googled recipe of 2019. No, it doesn't have cauliflower. And it's certainly not keto. It's a not-quite-classic shepherd's pie gilded with sweetly caramelized onions and smothered with Cheddar. To heck with tradition. Black Velvet Cocktail
There's a reason this effervescent mingling of stout and Champagne contains the word "velvet." It's sooooo smooth and subtly sophisticated. Sip for yourself. Homemade Corned Beef
Homemade corned beef is crazy easy to make. And it's not just for St. Patrick's Day. Although the holiday simply isn't the same without it. Little Hot After Dinner Shots
An innocent little after dinner libation that's sorta got a suave sophisticate thing going on. Consider it a liquid lullaby. Guinness and Ice Cream Float
A marvie blend of bitter stout and sweet ice cream, this inspired adults-only rendition of an old-fashioned float just may take you by surprise. Brown Soda Bread
We guarantee you're going to feel Irish when you sit down and savor a slice of this brown soda bread. Consider it a borrowed Irish birthright. Chocolate Mocha Cake with Irish Whiskey
Mmmm. Mocha chocolate cake slathered with an Irish whiskey-spiked chocolate glaze. A decadent, grown-up cake good for whatever ails you. Homemade Irish Cream
DIY Baileys, baby. All you need is cream, coffee, whiskey, sugar, and a taste for the good things in life. Raspberry Fool
A luxurious and super simple dessert with a subtle sweetness and a lovely tanginess. Perfect for those extra soft berries. Irish Coffee
A better way to start your day. Uh, we mean, end your day. That's what we meant. Yes. End it. Ahem. HUNGRY FOR MORE?
