Recipe of the Month

Irish Curry Chips
Irish Curry Chips

Our Recipe for this month is Irish Chips with Curry Sauce. A pub and chip-shop favorite that blends the tastes of two great cultures!

A couple of decades ago, my family visited Ireland. It was a wonderful trip. Being a great fan of food from around the world, I must say, food was not exactly a highlight of our trip. While in recent times, nuevo and international cuisine has been making inroads into the Irish food scene, basic Irish food remains . . . rather basic.


CD of the Month

Our International Music selection of the month is Al-Maraya by the Al Andaluz Project. Al-Marayœ (The mirror) is the sonorous title of the new and second Al Andaluz Project album. The title is to be taken literally. Al-Maraya mirrors the Spanish traditions of the Jewish-sephardic, Arabic and Christian music in contemporary and vivid interpretations and shows the true face of the European folk music in all it's variety and facets.—Amazon


Book of the Month

Our International Book of the Month is When We Were Birds: A Novel by Ayanna Lloyd Banwo

A mythic love story set in Trinidad, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo's radiant debut is a masterwork of lush imagination and exuberant storytelling—a spellbinding and hopeful novel about inheritance, loss, and love's seismic power to heal.
