Susan Farrell''s evocative account of what it was like to grow up in rural Armagh and Tyrone, a world rooted in tradition and in the seasons.

Beginning with her grandparents, Susan uses food to trace the legacy of her upbringing: Nanny Wylie, ''quick as a magician'', making bread; her aunts cycling twenty miles to the Irish border to buy butter, dried fruit and sugar for her parents'' wedding cake; food remedies and broths; and the endless supply of home-made apple pies, jam and soda farls.

But by the late sixties this way of life is changing - Camp Coffee, salad cream and books like Madhur Jaffrey''s ''Eastern Vegetarian Cooking'' herald a new way of life and a new kind of cooking.

And on the horizon is the shadow of the Troubles …

Warm, authentic and often funny, ''My Homeplace Inheritance'' is a vivid evocation of place and a celebration of the rich legacy that comes from the cooking and sharing of food.
