Best St. Patrick's Day recipes

St. Patrick's Day is a national holiday in Ireland: It honours Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints of Ireland, and people commemorate Mar. 17 with a feast day.

In North America, we pay tribute to St. Paddy and all his friends by enjoying pub fare and traditional Irish suppers. Whether you're of Irish descent or not, these hot, hearty and delicious meals will warm you up from the inside out!

Best St. Patrick's Day recipes: Soup and appetizers

Leek and Celery Soup
This simple, delicious and warming soup is a wonderful start to a traditional midwinter meal.Seafood Bar
Fresh oysters and mussels, as traditionally served in the seaside pubs and café-bars of Britain and Europe, make very popular appetizers for a casual party.

Best St. Patrick's Day recipes: Main course pub fare

Deep-Dish Pub Pies
Take stodgy meat pies to exciting new heights with these individual make-ahead casseroles of beer-braised beef crowned with puff pastry.

Corned Beef Brisket
Adding aromatic vegetables to the water in which corned beef cooks makes for extra flavour. Serve with Buttered Cabbage, boiled potatoes and, of course, mustard for the beef.

Buttered Cabbage
The texture of this cabbage is perfect -- it's deliciously buttery and it couldn't be simpler to make.

St. Patrick's Day Meat Loaf
This hearty meat loaf, surrounded by roast potatoes, is inspired by the flavours of Ireland and pulls added depth and flavour from liver.

Best St. Patrick's Day recipes: Dessert

Irish Cream Caramel
Irish Cream liqueur adds a spirited touch to classic crème caramel. If you prefer to leave out the liqueur, replace it with an equal quantity of whipping cream and add 2 tsp (10 mL) of vanilla. This is a lovely cool-and-creamy dessert to serve with coffee after the hearty pub fare.

Sweet Oatcakes
Serve these oatcakes with tea or coffee, fruit and cheese, or with the Irish Coffee Sundae.

Irish Coffee Sundae
Instead of an Irish coffee after dinner, why not indulge in an Irish Coffee Sundae? If you want to go all out, top each serving with a little Irish Whiskey Whipped Cream.
