A good soda bread recipie that produces a large, tasty loaf. I used pastry flour, instead of all purpose, which produced a delicate crumb. I also substituted buttermilk for the milk. Easy to make, and a big hit at dinner parties.

To eat figs off the tree in the very early morning, when they have been barely touched by the sun, is one of the exquisite pleasures of the Mediterranean.
