Set largely in the 1960s and 70s, Susan Farrell’s vivid memoir is a compelling account of what it was like to grow up in rural Armagh, a world rooted in tradition and in the seasons, and still recovering from the impact of the Second World War.
Beginning with her grandparents, Susan uses food and family stories in abundance to trace the legacy of that way of life through rationing, the Troubles and the increasing pressures on our connection with seasonal eating and country living.

Paperback. Condition: New. Susan Farrell's evocative account of what it was like to grow up in rural Armagh and Tyrone, a world rooted in tradition and in the seasons.Beginning with her grandparents, Susan uses food to trace the legacy of her upbringing: Nanny Wylie, 'quick as a magician', making bread; her aunts cycling twenty miles to the Irish border to buy butter, dried fruit and sugar for her parents' wedding cake; food remedies and broths; and the endless supply of home-made apple pies, jam and soda farls.But by the late sixties this way of life is changing - Camp Coffee, salad cream and books like Madhur Jaffrey's 'Eastern Vegetarian Cooking' herald a new way of life and a new kind of cooking. And on the horizon is the shadow of the Troubles .Warm, authentic and often funny, 'My Homeplace Inheritance' is a vivid evocation of place and a celebration of the rich legacy that comes from the cooking and sharing of food.
