Our cookbook of the week is Anna Haugh’s Irish Kitchen by Anna Haugh, head chef and owner of Myrtle Restaurant in London, England.

Jump to the recipes: boxty pancakes with ham hock and chive crème fraîche, coddle and Guinness chocolate cake.

Anna Haugh admits that opening a fine-dining Irish restaurant in England, “on paper, isn’t very clever.” People told her that if it should exist, it would already. “But there was something in me. I was like, ‘I’ve got more to give than just stuff that’s been done before.'”
