St. Patrick's Day Menu from The Irish Pub Cookbook

I've been meaning to post this menu for over a week!  A friend of mine, Stephanie, who loves to cook as much as I do, gave me a wonderful cookbook a few weeks ago called The Irish Pub Cookbook written by Margaret M. Johnson and published by Chronicle Books.  

It's called the culinary celebration of Irish Pub grub!  

 

I found so many new and delicious recipes for our St. Patrick's Day celebration here at Frog Hollow Farm on Saturday.

Here's what we're serving from the cookbook to 26 adults:

Esther Dunne's Bacon-Potato Cakes

Guinness Beef Stew

Chicken and Ham Pie

Cider Braised Chicken and Cabbage

 

Some things that our guests will see on the table when they arrive that I ordered from a little local restaurant called Stella G's:

Lobster Salad Tartlets

Salmon Crepes

Several other appetizers that my sisters are bringing.

 

And of course we couldn't have a St. Patrick's Day party without the following:

Lilly's Irish Soda Bread 

Corned Beef (from my sister Laurie)

 

If you're having a St. Patrick's Day party this weekend like we are and would like one of these recipes please email me, I'll do my best to send them to you!

 

Still figuring out the dessert menu!!

Ciao, bella!
