Clodagh at Home - Clodagh McKenna

Clodagh at Home is a richly atmospheric book that is both aspirational and deeply practial. It is a visual journey, with recipes and a source of inspiration, offering readers ideas on how they can adapt their homes, tables and daily rituals for a simple, sustainable way of life. Inspired by her new television series, this beautifully photographed book celebrates the rhythms of home life and the art of gathering.

Readers are welcomed in for a behind-the-scenes look at Clodagh's life at home in Broadspear to see how she lives, cooks, entertains and creates beauty through food, her farm, recipes for entertaining and thoughtful design.

Whether you're a beginner in the kitchen or a seasoned home cook, there are recipes for all kinds of occasions, from brunches and lunches to family gatherings, picnics, weeknight and weekend meals.
