Lady Laura Burlington, a driving force in farm-to-table philosophy, has cultivated a pastoral Eden in the Irish countryside at her family’s ancestral home. This beautiful cookbook celebrates Ireland’s remarkably rich food heritage and offers modern takes on some of its classic recipes.

Lismore Castle is the Cavendish family’s base in the heart of the Irish countryside. A hidden gem in West Waterford, perched high above the Blackwater River, with ten acres of gardens, the beautiful estate was built in 1185 in a bucolic setting. When Laura and her husband, William, took on the mantle of the property, they began working with local farmers, butchers, fisheries, and gardeners to inform a new, eco-minded way of living, eating, and looking after the land.

In this personal recipe collection, organized by season and accompanied by photographs that exude the warmth and hospitality of the Emerald Isle, the family shares forty favorite dishes from the castle kitchen, all fundamental to their home-cooking—and entertaining—repertoire. Dishes and baked goods are made from scratch with produce from Lismore’s gardens and range from classic malty brown Irish soda bread to Beetroot Gravadlax fished from the Blackwater River, plum and apple crumble shared beside the fire, and an assortment of chutneys and jams with an earthy sweetness, among many others. Stunning photography—commissioned especially for this book—of the castle, its gardens, interiors, and the finished dishes bring the book—and its source inspiration—to vivid life, making this the perfect gift for home cooks.
