A Place at the Table – Tales and Tastes from Dufferin House of Guinness
by Elaine Graham

Step inside the grand yet intimate world of Dufferin House with A Place at the Table, a beautifully told memoir by Elaine Graham — the cook, housekeeper, and “a little bit more” for the Guinness family for over twenty years.

With charm, honesty, and a wonderful eye for detail, Elaine shares the stories behind the scenes: the people she welcomed, the households she ran with quiet perfection, and the meals she crafted with care — many of them served to distinguished guests, including the then Prince of Wales, now King Charles III.

This book is rich with memory, warmth, and the flavours of a life lived in service and hospitality. From kitchen tales to human moments, Elaine brings readers right to the heart of Dufferin House, inviting us to sit beside her at the table where history, humour, and heartfelt experience meet.

A captivating read for lovers of memoir, food, heritage, and the stories that unfold behind closed doors.
