Everything worth eating looks better here.

This was a chandler’s workshop for a hundred and forty years. The walls still smell faintly of beeswax. Ríona cooks what Kilkenny, Carlow and Wexford send her that morning, and Luc pours what goes with it.

The room seats thirty. We light it at six and let it burn down.
