5.0 out of 5 stars Probably Ireland's first and finest foodie, fresh and fine!, 26 May 2001
By A Customer
Myrtle Allen set up Ballymaloe, still Ireland's greatest country house (not biggest, not most expensive, not most exclusive) hotel, with husband Ivan in the 1940s. Her style of cookery still reigns supreme in one of the few restaurants in the world today where you're asked if you'd like some more, and where the kitchen staff can be seen riding up to the hotel on bicycles every day with panniers full of fresh ingredients. The menu at the hotel is posted daily at 6pm, and not before, because they wait to see what's available from the fields and sea near Ballymaloe. This is the type of cookery Myrtle Allen does: not fussy, over-complicated or pretentious, but based on freshness and quality combined with a high regard for combining flavours and textures that matter. The result is some of the most stunning food you will ever taste, and this book is a collection of some of the recipes that have built Ballymaloe's handsome reputation as a place for people that like great food without attitude, snobbery or the need for fawning chef-worship. It's just plain, simple good food, prepared in a plain, simple, good way. And it is, as a result, one of the great cookbooks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just like mum used to cook, 30 Sep 2009
By Sean Hammond (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the older book from the Ballymaloe cooking, the newer book covers nearly everything, although I own Delias cooking course. This shows the older style that mum used to cook.
