Photographs by Anna Batchelor,
Contributions by William Burlington
Overlooking the Blackwater Valley, Lismore Castle is home to the oldest formally cultivated gardens in Ireland, which are visited for their wild beauty and provide organic produce and flowers for the Castle. Written by Laura and William Burlington to celebrate their Irish home, this beautiful book explores the history and interiors of the Castle alongside its rich local food heritage and a modern take on classic Irish recipes.
As well as giving a glimpse into one of the great Irish house interiors and a short history of the castle, this book offers over forty recipes inspired by the Irish locality and the garden’s variety of produce including Irish Soda Bread, Beetroot Gravadlax fished from the Blackwater River, and an assortment of chutneys and jams. With a farm to fork ethos, these recipes, created by the castle’s resident cook Teena Mahon, journey through the seasons and are made with what is fresh and available from the garden. The kitchen works hand-in-hand with Lismore’s gardeners, farmers and riverkeepers to oversee the ingredients’ short journeys to feed the Castle’s residents and guests.
Recipes and reflections from Lismore today are accompanied by stories of the extraordinary people – gardeners and artists, bishops and kings, and even one Hollywood star – who have designed, cultivated, celebrated, and shared the castle and garden over eight centuries.
With essays by Laura and William Burlington, who have taken on responsibility for Lismore Castle from William’s parents – the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire – and atmospheric photographs by Anna Batchelor, the book offers special insight into of one of Ireland’s most celebrated houses.

Words by Aditi Ranjan & M.P. Ranjan
Daily life in India is enriched by a colorful profusion of handmade goods, crafted with simple tools by artisans rooted in local traditions. From the richly embroidered gabba rugs of Kashmir to the polished metal mirrors of Kerala, and from the turned-wood vases of Gujarat to the coiled-cane hats of Arunachal Pradesh, the range of Indian handicrafts is as rich and varied as the country’s culture and geography.
Handmade in India is the first book to explore the entire spectrum of Indian crafts, state by state and district by district. The product of extensive fieldwork, it covers all aspects of India’s regional traditions: their historical, social, and cultural context; design and production processes; and markets old and new. Thousands of color photographs show the artisans at work, their tools, and their finished products. The broad geographic scope allows the reader to appreciate not only the astonishing diversity of Indian crafts, but also the variations (sometimes subtle, sometimes surprising) in the same craft as practiced in different regions.
This beautifully illustrated volume is an indispensable reference for product and textile designers, artists, architects, interior designers, development professionals, and collectors alike.

Sudpsuez Sims Hilditch: Beautifully British Interiors

Sims Hilditch creates interiors that epitomize the English country house look of today. The firm embraces, in this, its second, book, the best of old and new British design, traditional materials, and a pared-back aesthetic to create stylishly comfortable rooms for twenty-first-century living.
Spanning the extraordinary breadth of the studio’s most recent work—projects in townhouses, historic country manors, and seaside villas, the interiors in this book reflect the design philosophy of founder Emma Sims-Hilditch: Every house needs to work on a functional level before one even considers the decoration. Spaces, from sumptuous entrance halls and sitting rooms to hardworking kitchens and boot rooms, are organized for efficiency and practicality before the design team introduces an abundance of floral and damask textiles, striking colors, both refined and comfortable furnishings, and decorative trims.
This book not only explores the fruits of complex and rewarding collaborations that artfully breathe new life into old buildings but also offers an insight into an exciting new chapter in the fascinating story of classic English country houses. New materials and technologies, paired with traditional decorative devices, reinvigorate a Victorian house in the city, an eighteenth-century country house, a Jacobean manor, an apartment in London’s Old War Office, and many other quintessentially British residences.
The Sims Hilditch team comes to every commission with an open mind, ready to respond to the setting and architecture and create something original for each client, a style that is classic and comfortable but also highly relevant to the shift in the way many people are now living.

Sudpsuez The Gourmand’s Lemon. A Collection of Stories and Recipes
Words by David Lane and Marina Tweed
The deceptively simple lemon takes center stage in the second volume of TASCHEN’s collaboration with The Gourmand, masters of the rich intersection of food and art. The star of Renaissance gardens, that shaped the Medici dynasty, have the power to ward off scurvy, had a hand in forming the mob, and whose juice has been used as an invisible ink since 600 CE to pen covert messages, these joyful yellow orbs are ripe with intrigue. The Gourmand charts the fruit’s astonishingly intricate genealogy, explores its role as a literary device for the likes of Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce, and examines its unique representation of the American dream through lemonade stands.
A favorite subject of art history’s giants, the lemon captivates in the still lifes of Old Masters and inspired the breakthroughs of modern visionaries like Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol. Lemons also find themselves at the cutting edge of design in Philippe Starck’s iconic Juicy Salif and the unassuming yet revolutionary Jif Lemon. Their presence extends to the decorative arts, gracing everything from Arts and Crafts wallpapers to mythological ceramics. Even the famed Bloomsbury Group found lemons entangled in their literary love affairs.
Accompanying these citrus-centric anecdotes are a foreword by chef and acclaimed food writer Simon Hopkinson and an introduction by art critic and author Jennifer Higgie alongside more than 60 lemon-infused recipes across global cuisines and for every occasion—including perfect poultry, decadent sauces, classic cocktails, and indulgent desserts, with custom photography by Bobby Doherty.
