I've always believed that you can tell the true worth of a cookbook by its continual usage year after year. I have a number of old books that are tattered with age and marked up with spills. These are my old standbys that I return to again and again for my favorite dishes.
Feasting Galore is one such book. This book was originally published in 1952, the recipes themselves are much older. The food is Irish style, lots of hardy vegetable, potato, and meat dishes as well as a nice selection of breads, cakes, and cookies.
The quantities are plentiful. I have a larger than average family so normally when I cook I have to double or triple the recipes. It was nice to just follow a recipe and still have enough for everyone. That is, until one of my kids pointed out that these recipes were probably meant for entertaining. I can see that, many of these dishes would be great down to earth food for family gatherings, potlucks, etc.

I bought this book for a friend, so I haven't tested any of the recipes. The stories that precede each section are charming, making this book a delight whether you ever cook out of it or not. That said, I do appreciate more pictures in a cook book than this one has.
