A delicious tradition that spans the globe At some point in history, our family recipe made its way from Ireland to Boston. It's been passed down for generations and is still made from all-natural ingredients, just as it was well over a century ago. If you travel to Ireland today, you will undoubtedly encounter soda bread just about everywhere. The smell is unmistakable and conjures up memories of traditions passed along from mother to daughter for generations. You can walk into any grocery store and buy a loaf of bread from just about anywhere, but soda bread is special because of its unique heritage.
