Up to his head in soda bread
Last year Steve Perrone of Perrone's Fine Food and Wine Market in Pawleys Island spent two full days right before St. Patrick's Day making 200 loaves of Irish Soda Bread.
"I was literally covered with flour for two days," he says.
This year he is taking pre-orders for his hugely popular soda bread. It's $7.99 for a round 10-inch loaf that serves 10 people.
"Traditional Irish soda bread is on the dry side," Steve says. "Mine is more of a cake. I touched up my mother-in-law's recipe. She's Irish. This one has golden raisins, regular raisins. It's an incredible breakfast bread. People order three and four of them, then keep them in the freezer. They put pieces in the toaster and have them with tea."
Steve is also making corned beef and cabbage dinners to go, with his trademark reheating instructions for creating homemade meals that you didn't have to make.
Perrone's is in the Live Oaks at Litchfield shopping center at 13291 Ocean Highway in the Litchfield section of Pawleys Island. The number is 235-9193.
