Nina Hannaford created an attractive Irish cookbook, illustrated with Gaelic designs, to sell at the Fair. The cookbooks sold out so quickly that she had to take orders for additional ones!

Other members of the food group had looked for recipes in the internet, and Nina selected nine recipes: St. Patrick's Day soup, Irish stew, Irish stew dumplings, Dublin coddle, boxty (potato griddle cakes), scones, shortbread, squares (currant or raspberry), Irish coffee.

Here are Nina's recipes for St. Patrick's Day soup and shortbread. (See Claudia's text, "The Long Story of Shortbread" for an account of this recipe in action!)
