A Cookbook for Iwan

Featuring over 200 recipes gathered from the personal culinary repertoires of contemporary artists, curators, chefs, and collectors, ‘A Cookbook for Iwan’ is an opportunity to discover and recreate the breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks, and desserts that fuel the art world’s global community. With a foreword by food writer and critic Tom Parker Bowles, the book’s recipes are accompanied by handwritten notes, whimsical illustrations, and playful photographs that capture the idiosyncrasies of its contributors.

Originally created by Manuela Wirth as a gift for her husband Iwan, ‘A Cookbook for Iwan’ reflects the appreciation of good, honest food that the couple―the founders of the art gallery Hauser & Wirth and the hospitality company Artfarm―share, transformed into a recipe book that is truly one of a kind.

Roundhill Tomato Salad

Flick through ‘A Cookbook for Iwan’, and you’ll find a recipe by our very own Head Chef, Rob Smart.

For a limited time, the featured Roundhill tomato salad returns to Da Costa’s menu, showcasing some of the 40-plus varieties of tomatoes grown in our neighbouring Walled Garden.

Grown in polytunnels, and with an exceptionally warm summer, our growing season has been extended – meaning these tomatoes are still tasting their very best.

An Evening with Angel Otero

Join us on 20 October, for a special evening celebrating art, food and memory with artist Angel Otero at Da Costa, Hauser & Wirth Somerset.

The event will begin with after-hours, last-chance access to the exhibition, ‘Angel Otero. Agua Salada,’ followed by a three-course, family-style dinner at Da Costa with some of the artist’s favorite Puerto Rican dishes―including his fricassée―made using seasonal Somerset produce.
