To make them “food friendly,” I lined the inside of the pots with melted chocolate, which cooled into a chocolate shell. The golden edge of the pot is made by [...]

These deliciously soused no-bake cookies are my St. Patrick’s Day version of bourbon balls, both of which I did on the TODAY Show. Here’s the St. Pat’s video clip with guest co-host Olivia Munn sitting in for Kathie Lee Gifford. Munn was hilarious and a tad tipsy from too many balls and brew. 1 cup [...]

Odd, I know, but the combination of golden potatoes and apples in this old Irish side dish recipe is exquisite. I developed this recipe years ago based on research from my peeps! Supposedly, I’m related to the greatest king of Ireland, Brian Boru. There’s even a wikipedia reference about him and a sketch of the [...]

Ginger Snap cookies are used as a thickening ingredient in this stew and add a zip to this traditional St. Patrick’s Day favorite. I originally wrote this recipe for my book Celebrations which was published in 2001. Since then I’ve prepared the recipe in many ways including swapping out half of the water for Guinnesss [...]
