Happy St. Patrick's Day! I love this holiday! Every year, my family has a St. Patrick's Day dinner that consists of corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and Irish soda bread. This year I was looking on Epicurious and found an article entitled The Great Irish Soda Bread Debate. Apparently, Irish soda bread made with caraway seeds and raisins isn't really traditional at all! The article goes on about the history and it also has seven recipes for different types of soda bread. Out of the seven variations, Bon Appétit's Irish Soda Bread with Raisins and Caraway and Soda Bread with Dark Chocolate and Candied Orange Peel recipes sound quite delicious.
BTW, if you like the flower arrangement above, see the tutorial here.
