A Return to Ireland

“Judith’s beautiful book deftly explores the Irish immigrant story—her own, that of her grandparents, and of the wider Irish-American community—through the medium of recipes passed down through the generations. These now make their way back across the Atlantic in A Return to Ireland.”
—Daniel Mulhall, Ambassador of Ireland to the United States of America
 
“With A Return to Ireland, Irish cookery has come of age. Her recipes are steeped in our history and the future of Ireland. From nature to plate, with amazing stories of passion and love from the homeland.”
—Chef Noel McMeel, executive chef of the 5-Star Lough Erne Hotel and author of Irish Pantry
 
“Judith’s continual passion for Ireland, Irish food and the Irish culture continues to be an inspiration to me and to everyone who meets her here in Georgia. Her zest for life, her stories and her Irish creations in the kitchen are superb and really fun. May the inspiration continue to call people to return to Ireland.”
—Chef Ford Fry, restauranteur and author of Tex-Mex Cookbook
 
“McLoughlin’s new book is a truly intergenerational exploration of one Irish family’s emigrant journey from the rugged hills of Ireland to the shores of New England and the tastes of home they’ve savored ever since. Do yourself a favor and Return to Ireland without ever leaving your kitchen.”
—Nathan Mannion, Head of Exhibitions and Programmes at EPIC, the Irish Emigration Museum
 
“Judith’s inspirational food and storytelling is very much part of this phenomenon that is calling the Irish diaspora home to Ireland to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors.”
—Dr. Tim Campbell, director of the St. Patrick’s Center
