Sherry Trifle
A Taste of Ireland
The smell and taste of certain foods have the ability to transport us home—
for Lorna Kaim, it's her family's Sherry Trifle recipe.
Beyond taste and sustenance, food connects us to our culture and family. Recipes handed down for generations fill our holiday tables, conjuring a lifetime of memories in a single bite. For Ireland native Lorna Kaim, this is especially true. She's proud of her heritage and in awe of her older sister Catherine's role back home, where she's the ideal wife, mother, grandmother, and cook. While Catherine says Ireland's exceptional dairy products are the key to her delicious trifle, Lorna believes it's the love her sister puts into making it. Whatever the reason, it's a recipe that strips away the miles and brings the family together, at least in spirit.
