I love Clodagh. She is not pretentious and every recipe I’ve tried is a hit. They call her the Irish Rachael Ray, but she deserves much more credit than that.

Great Book
As the title suggests, this book makes good use of seasonal ingredients. The suggested menus are also great. The recipes are interesting and seem easy to follow. I'm looking forward to trying quite a few from the book. I own a few of Clodagh's books, and find her recipes very reliable.

I love Clodagh's cookbooks - they are joy to read and leaf through and the recipes are delicious.
Ireland is one of favorite countries to visit. All I have to do is pull down one of her books and the happy memories come flooding back.

With her table settings and beautiful photos, she reminds me of an Irish Martha Stewart. Her recipes are more approachable. Her seafood recipes are great, and there are a lot of good dinner party ideas in here.
