My Wild Atlantic Kitchen: Recipes & Recollections

My Wild Atlantic Kitchen: Recipes and Recollections is a compilation of Maura O’Connell Foley’s favourite recipes created throughout her career in Kenmare, County Kerry spanning over six decades.

Working in close collaboration with Kenmare based graphic designers Eamonn O’Sullivan of Anchor Studio & Natalie Moriarty, the project was very much a labour of love, with Maura and her family undertaking the task of lovingly creating a beautiful book that would be a testament to her years of hard work and dedication to her craft. Not only a cookbook, My Wild Atlantic Kitchen features Maura’s culinary recollections and stories woven throughout accompanied by over one hundred photographs of her recipes captured by Lynda Kenny of Visual Feasts and Maria Bell. In keeping with her love of art and the Irish landscape, the book includes photography by nationally renowned landscape photographer Norman McCloskey, illustrations by Christine Bowen and paintings from internationally acclaimed Irish artist Pauline Bewick adding a unique artistic component.

Below are a selection of works featured in the book.
