Editorial Review:

Product Description:
At McGuire's Irish Pub the mood is nothing if not fun. McGuire's boasts its own award-winning wine cellar and microbrewery in addition to its many specialty drinks A replica of a grand, turn-of-the-century saloon, McGuire's boasts more than 150,000 dollar bills, all donated by patrons, that cover its walls and ceilings. Giant moose heads adorn several walls, and visitors are encouraged to"kiss the moose" to celebrate special occasions, including first visits to the pub. Live Irish music enhances the dining experience. The real draw is the food. As anyone lucky enough to have dined at McGuire's will tell you, the food deserves to be served on a silver platter-or at least eaten with a golden spoon. For five consecutive years, the Pensacola pub has earned the coveted Golden Spoon Award, which denotes it as one of Florida's top restaurants. Another wonderful indication of the quality of the food is the neon signhanging in the kitchen. It simply reads Don't Serve It If You're Not Proud Of It. Now, you may proudly serve this award-winning cuisine, from the traditional Sheep Herder's Pie (in which mashed potatoes form the "crust") to the not-so-traditional Chicken and Roasted Vegetable Ziti (which "makes for a hearty family dinner"), in the comfort of your home. In addition to enjoying these entr es, you have your choice of appetizers, breads, soups, and more. You may even decide to try the almost sinful Chocolate Eclairs with Baileys Custard for dessert, or to top it all off with a Hot Limerick Toddy. After all, the menu is up to you. Jessie Tirsch, no stranger to cookbooks, coauthored Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking and wrote Paul Prudhomme's Seasoned America . She owns her own restaurant in New Orleans. McGuire and Molly Martin, who opened McGuire's Irish Pub in 1977, invite readers to sample a wee bit of McGuire's famous fare from this, their first cookbook.

Amazon.com Review:
McGuire's Irish Pub is a friendly place, where the patrons indulge in fun and games--like kissing a moosehead when they miss a note in a sing-along! The place overflows with Irish hospitality and charm, just like any Irish pub--although it happens to be a 20,000-square-foot restaurant in Florida. Does such a place make real Irish food, and can it be recreated at home? Based on recipes for Soda Bread and smoky-tasting, bacon-studded Potato Soup, it is indeed possible. McGuire's also offers standard, non-Irish pub grub, like a Smoked Chicken Salad and Basil Shrimp on Fresh Noodles. There are also wilder fancies, including Chicken Timbales with Orange Tarragon Cream, which only ambitious home chefs are likely to tackle. McGuire's really excels at recipes that give a creative twist to traditional Irish fare. Witness the Bean Soup--thick with three kinds of melted cheese--and a dense black bean chili made with stout. (Alcohol appears often in this book's recipes, but what teetotaler hangs out at an Irish pub?)

Written partly as a serious cookbook and partly as a souvenir for its patrons, McGuire's Irish Pub Cookbook is a bright and cheery book, packed with photos and illustrations to help bring the taste of Ireland into your very own kitchen. --Dana Jacobi
