Chef’s Table: Comfort food for all

Sometimes all you need is a little comfort food – rich, wholesome dishes that will fill your belly and soothe your soul. Here, Wade Murphy of 1826 Adare in Co Limerick shares some of his favourite recipes that are hearty, elegant and perfect for eating in good company.

Owned by married couple Elaine and Wade Murphy, 1826 Adare occupies a quaint thatched cottage that has stood for almost 200 years in Limerick. Provenance is at the core of Murphy’s culinary ethos as he strives to regularly change the restaurant’s menu to highlight seasonal, local produce. Offering modern Irish food in an old world setting, this charming restaurant is currently open for outdoor dining. For more information, head to 1826adare.ie.
