Jaime Gross signature Traditional Irish Recipes & Fun Video Footage for St. Patricks DayIrish Coffee 3 15 11 RE Traditional Irish Recipes & Fun Video Footage for St. Patricks DayWhen you think of St. Patrick’s Day, what comes to mind? Corned beef and cabbage? Green beer? Wearing green clothes?

I think of all of those things as well, but around here at the Mr. Food office, I am reminded of a trip that Mr. Food  and Howard, his right-hand man, took to Ireland a couple of years ago. They brought back plenty of photos, videos and some amazing recipes from the areas they visited.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I am going to share some of the videos with you that they shot. (Just click the links to see the recipes and corresponding video.) They all have spectacular views of Ireland, along with mouth-watering recipes from the regions. Perhaps they will inspire you to cook something other than the usual this St. Patrick’s Day in your home.

My First Webinar: All About Ireland!

By Art Ginsburg aka Mr. Food · Comments (2)
Thursday, May 12th, 2011

Do you know what a webinar is? It’s just a fancy term for a meeting, really – a meeting held online. We set up this meeting so that we could come right into your living rooms and talk with you – and anyone else who’s interested – about our upcoming trip to Ireland!

That’s right, this past Monday night, my creative director, Howard, and I met with our friends at CIE Tours (they’re the best when it comes to trips to Ireland!), Brian and Margaret, right here at our Mr. Food studio. We sat around and drank Irish coffee, lots of Guinness, and boy was that Irish cheese good! Most of all, we were excited to answer all of your questions about our trip to one of my favorite countries in the world.

One of the most important things we wanted to share with you was why we’re hosting this tour in the first place. It’s because a couple of years ago, we went to Ireland to produce a few shows, and we had the time of our lives!

BTS Feature Ireland 300x191 My First Webinar: All About Ireland!

After giving you an overview of the trip we all shared some of our favorite stories about the last time we were there. One of my favorite memories was a show we shot in a pub by the name of Larkin’s. Oh boy, I can’t wait to go back! We had so much fun listening to their live Irish music, and they even taught us how to do Irish broom dancing! We learned right there on the street, and everyone got a good laugh at my two left feet when it comes to Irish dancing. I’ve been practicing… So you better watch out!

And then, there was all of the traditional Irish food we ate… And did we ever eat! Can’t wait try all the foods we ate? You could try a taste at home right now by making a batch of Dressed-Up Irish Stew, or one of my personal favorites, this Beef and Guinness Casserole.

I may just have to host another webinar sometime soon, because it sure was neat to be able to respond to your questions in real-time. We sure hope everyone who watched at home had as much fun as we did! We can’t wait to go back to Ireland and create even more great memories. If you’ve never been, what are you waiting for? I bet you’ll think it’s… “OOH IT’S SO GOOD!!”

Menu in a Minute: Quick Guide to St. Patrick’s Day

By Sarah Skerrett, Mr. Food Editor

If you’ve waited until today to plan your St. Patrick’s Day meals, don’t rely on the luck of the Irish to pull together something fast – let the Mr. Food leprechauns make your menu in a minute! Whether you want to make one dish or the entire menu, it’s a great way to celebrate the very greenest day of the year.

During Mr. Food’s “A Taste of Ireland” series in 2009, Mr. Food traveled all around the Emerald Isle, meeting friends and sampling foods. Many of the recipes you find on MrFood.com are adaptations of dishes he tried in Ireland, like Beef and Guinness Casserole from Larkin’s Irish Pub in County Tipperary. His version is easy to make and tastes just like the original! But don’t take my word for it: watch Mr. Food experience an Irish Beef and Guinness Casserole on YouTube (click the green “Watch Video” button)!

Beef and Guinness Casserole 06 02 09 RE Menu in a Minute: Quick Guide to St. Patricks Day

Beef and Guinness Casserole is a classic Irish dish that gets its kick from Guinness beer. The thick sauce and tender beef combine with chunks of vegetables for a rich, hearty stew. The best part about this dish is it cooks in one pot, freeing you (and your oven!) up to focus on other menu items.

St. Patrick’s day wouldn’t be the same without Sweet & Sour Irish Cabbage and Glazed Corned Beef, the Irish equivalent of peanut butter and jelly. Serve together alongside Champ Potatoes (a.k.a. Irish mashed potatoes), easy-to-make potatoes that have flavorful scallions in every bite.

For dessert – if there’s room! - Irish Soda Bread, Shamrock Shortbread and Irish Coffee make the perfect finish.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day with Irish Fare

By Sarah Skerrett · Comments (9)
Friday, March 11th, 2011

By Sarah Skerrett, Mr. Food Editor

An old Irish proverb says laughter is brightest where food is best. With our round-up of traditional (and nontraditional!) Irish fare on the menu, your house will be non-stop gigglefest on St. Patrick’s Day! Earlier in the week, I covered delectable “greenspired” desserts to serve on or around March 17 like Irish Milk Shakes and Irish Cream Cakes. Now, with less than a week til St. Patrick’s Day, it’s time to plan that main course menu!

I’ve got a collection of our best Irish recipes that will really put you in the holiday spirit. For me, it doesn’t seem like St. Patrick’s Day without the usual suspects like corned beef and cabbage and Irish stew. (All washed down with a few beers, of course.) Depending on how many people you’re serving and/or how quickly you want to eat, Mr. Food has different recipes to suit your needs. Some of us enjoy spending time on a multi-step recipe and others – like me! – prefer quick and easy.

Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage basically cooks itself OR, for a slightly more hands-on approach, try  Glazed Corned Beef paired with Cabbage and Caraway Seed! Wondering what to look for when purchasing corned beef at the grocery store? Check out Mr. Food’s handy guide to corned beef.

Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage RE Celebrate St. Paddys Day with Irish Fare

Irish Beef Stew is an easy all-in-one pan meal that features Guinness, while the Dressed Up Irish Stew is slightly fancier with lamb chops instead of stew meat. Don’t forget Boxty (authentic Irish Potato Griddle Cakes) to accompany your corned beef and Irish stew!
