Start with a classic
Our soda bread and Irish stew are the two recipes we recommend to anyone new here.
Mybrand started as a small notebook of family recipes. Today it is a growing collection of tested Irish dishes and practical kitchen guides, written for people who cook at home — not for professional chefs.
We are a small team of cooks based in Ireland. Between us we have decades of experience feeding families, friends and neighbours. We are not trained chefs, and we think that is a strength: we write the way we cook, with the same pans, ovens and budgets most people have.
Every recipe on this site has been made at least once in a normal home kitchen. If a step is fiddly or a result is unreliable, we say so plainly.
We break recipes into clear steps and explain the why, not just the how, so you can adapt them to your own kitchen.
We favour ingredients that are in season and easy to find, which keeps costs down and flavour up.
We never promise perfect results or claim partnerships we do not have. What you read is what we actually do.
