Dedicated to promoting the traditional Irish Soda Bread
 as baked by our great-great-grandparents.

Over 80,000 visitors come to this web site each year with the majority just before St. Patrick's Day.

If your "soda bread" has raisins in it, it's not "soda bread," it's called "Spotted Dog" or "Railway Cake"!

If it contains raisins, eggs, baking powder, sugar or shortening, it's called "cake", not "bread."
