The quintessential Irish cookbook: food and drink from James Joyce's Dublin. A joyous book celebrating the best of Irish cooking. An equally good read.

Alison Armstrong is the author of numerous articles and reviews of literature and art, a founding editor (1979) of James Joyce Broadsheet (UK), and contributing editor (since 1982) to Irish Literary Supplement (USA). Her two books are: The Herne’s Egg: The Manuscript Materials (Cornell Univ. Press, 1992) and The Joyce of Cooking: Food & Drink of James Joyce’s Dublin(Station Hill Press, 1986). She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature (NYU), an M.Litt. (Oxford Univ., UK), and an M.A. in English (Ohio State Univ.) and currently teaches at The New School and at School of Visual Arts in New York City.
A nice sidebar to the vast literature devoted to James Joyce. Armstrong, noting that the novels are full of food, has collected traditional Irish recipes and given them titles and epigraphs based on the words of the master, most often from Ulysses I Beg Your Parsnips, Do Ptake Some Ptarmigan, Poached Eyes on Ghost. Recipes seldom partake of these flights of fancy but are straightforward dishes of a kind ordinary Dubliners like Leopold and Molly Bloom would have eaten in 1904. A jeu d'esprit that Joyceans will enjoy. RD
