Beannachtaí an
tSéasúir daoibh! (Season's Greetings
to you all!)
It's
holiday time again, and it seems like this year
flew by so fast! It has been a very busy year
for LittleShamrocks.com, culminating with our
latest
news and recipes.
Our
affiliate, Food Ireland,
has opened its Christmas store, with
seasonal packaging and traditional Christmas
fare. Some
of these items are in stock only during the
holiday season, like cookies, candy and cakes
in holiday
tins or packaging.
Another
addition to our store will be cookbooks from
most European countries, the USA and Australia.
After some research, we found that they contain
so many recipes that are similar to the Irish
recipes. The main staples of these countries
were, and still
are, potatoes, cabbage, root vegetables and
fresh meats, poultry and fish. Our first
selection
will be an Amish
and Mennonite Recipes cookbook
from the Dutch settlements area of the USA.
The
Amish and Mennonite people are very traditional
to their ancestry and customs so the recipes
have not changed much, or at all, since their
arrival
in America during the 17th century.
We
are going to add a new feature to LittleShamrocks.com
which will be a Question
and Answer Page.
We have received
so many submissions from all over the world
and
on
a wide variety of subjects. We think that
other visitors might have the same or similar
questions,
so we will be posting the questions and
answers on their own permanent page, anonymously,
of course.
LittleShamrocks.com
has added a free gift for all of our newsletter
subscribers.
Delicious
Candy Recipes is an e-cookbook with over
300 candy
recipes, so please tell your friends.
