A potato farmer who managed 30,000t of spuds for crisps per year has turned his back on his 30-year career after being inspired to tell a new food story through a loaf of bread.
Some signature Irish dishes to complement any Thanksgiving table in a happy marriage between Yankee and Gael.

MANCHESTER â Along with the many hours pulling weeds, mixing in compost and sweating under a warming sun, many gardeners insist there is a peacefulness to their pathos, a point where labor and Zen seem to merge.
This feeling has seemingly been tapped into by Southern Vermont author Ellen Ecker Ogden, whose recent release, âThe New Heirloom Gardenâ (2021, Rodale Books, soft cover, 253 pages, $24.99), is a worthy addition to garden design and cookbooks everywhere.
Ogden, who has written several other gardening-cookbook hybrids (most notably her 2011 release âThe Complete Kitchen Gardenâ), has been featured in national magazines, teaches classes and regularly speaks on the subject. The title is available in bookstores nationally and online. This spring, it debuted at #1 in Amazonâs garden design book sales.
