Luck of the Irish

May the luck of the Irish be with you this month as we celebrate St Patrick's Day on the 17th March.  St Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish, anything green, leprechauns, pots of gold, shamrocks and luck.

Learn about the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, and why this day is celebrated around the globe with parties and parades. 

In this Clever Little Cooks Project you will cook traditional Irish fare and a favourite dish of the leprechaun! Maybe you can catch yourself a leprechaun and find his hidden pot of gold but be aware that the Irish fairies are known to disappear if you take your eyes off them.

The recipes include Irish Stew with Soda Scones and Leprechaun Cheesecake.
