Ireland’s strong farming roots have continued to make the country a destination for food. From butter and beef to oats and flour, Anna Haugh talks us through the Irish ingredients she can’t be without
Growing up in Ireland, food played a central role in the Haugh household. Her mum was a keen cook who focussed on buying ingredients of the highest quality and her dad was always keen to try different dishes. Given her parents’ passion for food, it’s unsurprising Haugh grew up to become a top chef., Haugh travels across both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, meeting food producers, celebrities and chefs along the way.
“There are many varieties too. Breakfast black pudding is usually quite firm. Then you have artisan black puddings and they tend to be more spreadable. You could have it on toast, it’s delicious.”“When it comes to the most useful, vital ingredient in both my home kitchen and in my professional kitchen, it’s Irish butter.
“I think it's one of those ingredients we take for granted. Because Ireland has such beautiful pastures for our animals and so we have high-quality dairy, it’s easy to forget what’s right under our nose. I love the colour of the butter and I love the salt content. Everything in life is about balance. So, I don't use copious amounts of it in my food, but I notice the small amounts I put in.”“Scotland and Ireland have the climate that allows porridge oats to grow really well.
