The smartly designed new brochure for the courses given at Roger and Olivia Goodwillie's Lavistown Study Centre, just outside Kilkenny, promises an impressive line-up for the year.
As well as the famous courses exploring the Burren, and the great mushroom hunts led by Roger, Dolores Keegan joins Olivia for a course on growing and cooking herbs and there are courses on painting flowers with Daphne Levinge, landscape painting with Leslie Fennell, basket-making with Irene and Barbara Kelly, while Arthur Shackleton leads a guided tour of three gardens in south Kilkenny and Wexford.

Correction: In the recipe for Cod Baked With A Mushroom And Herb Crust in last week's Weekend, the amount of melted butter was incorrectly given as 10 oz. The correct amount is one oz.
