This is a delicious potato and meat pie topped with bubbly cheese. We love this pie that my wife surprised me with one night. She used to make it back home in Ireland.

Everyone will love this one. It 's pure comfort food. Shredded potatoes, onions, eggs and melted butter are combined and put into a large casserole, and then topped off with milk and a sprinkle of cheese. Bakes up bubbly and beautiful.

The word farl originates from the Gaelic word fardel meaning four parts. These potato griddle breads can be made with leftover mashed potatoes too. Serve hot with a little butter and salt, or fry them alongside soda bread as part of an Ulster Fry-up.

'My mother came from Ireland as a teen and brought the comforting recipe with her. I find that it's great way to get my family to eat cooked cabbage...hidden in Grandma's potatoes!' writes Marie Pagel of Lena, Wisconsin.

This is a wonderfully simple chunky soup. I use good quality Irish back bacon but if you can't get this, it tastes equally good made with pancetta. The dark green colour of the cabbage alongside the tomatoes gives the soup a beautiful colour.

Potato bread farls are pan fried to make one of the essential components of an Ulster fry. They taste great on their own with a little salt, or with a fried egg on top.

Every Irish household has their own version of this famous dish-so here's mine. I like to add chunky pieces of parsnip for a little sweetness, and fresh rosemary gives it a distinct flavour and aroma. If you use a tougher cut of meat, you can leave it to simmer longer before adding the potatoes. Fantastic on a cold, blustery day-served with a pint of the black stuff, of course!
