Cooking by the Irish Hearth

Product description:

Before the modern cooker, the open hearth was the heart of the Irish home.

The three-legged pot, iron griddle and hanging crook were simple but essential tools. They helped families cook stews, soups, potatoes, breads and other everyday meals over the open fire.

Hard-wearing and made to last, these humble pieces of equipment were part of daily life in Irish homes for generations.

A glimpse into the traditional Irish kitchen and the clever, practical ways families cooked by the hearth.
