Darina Allen chooses her favourite recipes from the new edition of All In The Cooking

All In The Cooking is back by popular demand… I’ve just received a copy from O’Brien Press who had the foresight to reprint Part 1 which was originally published in 1946. 

It was written and compiled by Josephine Marnell, Nora Breathnach, Anne Martin and Mor Murnaghan for the students of Coláiste Mhuire Cookery School in Cathal Brugha Street in Dublin and it remained in use in schools and colleges throughout Ireland until the 1970’s.

In the press release to coincide with the launch, the O Brien Press, tell us that All In The Cooking has attained near legendary status in recent years as people search the internet for second hand copies but to little or no avail.
