"I made this soda bread for my partner (who is Irish) as a St Patrick's Day treat when we were living in the UK and he was extremely impressed. We have since moved to Ireland and I have continued using this recipe serving it to all his Irish relatives and even to my neighbour (an 80 year old Irish lady who is a great traditional cook) and all of them have said how good the recipe is and have encouraged me to cook more."

"I made this for my partner (who is Irish) as a St Patrick's Day treat. He was so impressed that I have been making it ever since. I did cheat a little and used lamb stock cubes (good quality ones) instead of making the stock from scratch but it is still fantastic and goes down a storm with everyone I cook it for. It's definately best if you can let it go cold and then reheat it later as this seems to thicken the sauce."
