For Irish Tea customs and a guide to all aspects of teatime recipes of the Irish tradition consult:
CONRAD BLADEYS IRISH TEATIME COMPANION

The book discusses tea ritual, all the traditional recipes (you wont find a traditional recipe that is not in our book!) Additionally you will find instruction in how to make jams and marmalades as well as Irish sausages and other savories. There is a complete guide to Irish cheeses.

The recipes are well tested and with each recipe you get a few Irish sayings.

The book is available at the link above or via amzaon or your local book store. The ISBN= 0-9702386-2-2

I have been using these recipes for years in my Irish culture classes. The book has been very popular.

A great gift for anyone who enjoys tea.....
(and the small profits if any....sometimes support some of our public service work, research etc...)
