The luck of the Irish and the fine shops in San Francisco came to the table this St. Patrick’s Day. Shenson’s corned beef from Costco, roasted in a convection oven, brought smiles even to the leprechaun. Or maybe it was the Guinness Draught?! Pureed herb roasted root vegetables and yams, combined with cream cheese, made a wonderful spread for the Irish Soda Bread. Fresh from the ovens of John Campbell’s Irish Bakery, this raisin-studded bread was the best I have ever tasted. A radish, parsley and green onion salad – along with an “artichoke heart four leaf clover” – completed the holiday meal. Yep, feeling lucky!
