My Homeplace Inheritance - Soda Farls, Apple Tarts and Other Recipes for Life from My Irish Country Childhood

Set largely in the 1960s and 70s, Susan Farrell's vivid memoir is a compelling account of what it was like to grow up in rural Armagh, a world rooted in tradition and in the seasons, and still recovering from the impact of the Second World War.

Beginning with her grandparents, Susan uses food and family stories in abundance to trace the legacy of that way of life through rationing, the Troubles and the increasing pressures on our connection with seasonal eating and country living.
