"Irish Country Doctor" Cookbook

Big Guy and I enjoy reading and have been known to binge a new author upon discovery. In the case of Patrick Taylor’s Irish County Doctor series, we were close to the beginning of his series, so we looked forward with great anticipation as each new novel came out in the Fall.

The historical fiction novels followed the life of Dr. Barry Laverty and Dr. Fingal Flaherty O’Reilly in the rural Irish village of Ballybucklebo. A trusted companion in the series was their housekeeper, Kinky Kincaid. I loved that the books all ended with Kinky sharing her recipes, so it was no surprised I snapped up An Irish Country Cookbook which not only shared recipes, but Mr. Taylor also managed to include short stories of our favorite people of Ballybucklebo. It is certainly a cherished book in my collection!
