Abstract
Situated within the fields of culinary history, the history of everyday life and narrative studies, this article, based on a content analysis of Monica Sheridan’s cookbook entitled Monica’s Kitchen, explores various ways in which time manifests itself in this publication. This research aims to illustrate that cookbooks can be treated as a valuable source for an analysis of the past, the present and the future, and ultimately, add to the growing body of research focused on an Irish culinary history of the twentieth century.
