Irish cuisine -
what is it
?


Old traditional cuisine
In Ireland, until the 20th century, ingredient quality was generally mediocre and food was usually overcooked. Although this old traditional Irish cuisine was hearty and wholesome, it was not particularly palate pleasing.

New traditional cuisine
Ingredient quality and cooking sophistication began to improve remarkably about 50 years ago - and the new traditional Irish cuisine was born. Today, good cooks strive to use fresh, locally grown and raised foods - and to preserve their flavor integrity.

Foreign-influenced cuisine
Some modern-day restaurant chefs are bastardizing Irish cuisine. They merge exotic cooking ingredients and styles into the cuisine. And they put more emphasis on artistic presentation than on taste and authenticity.
