We couldn’t let St Patrick’s Day go past without marking it with a few Irish coffee recipes.  As luck would have it we just received a new book as a gift this morning called “I love coffee” by Susan Zimmer and it has some excellent, easy and delicious coffee drink recipes, including some Irish favourites.

Feel free to send us in photos of any of your creations!
