Consider an Irish Ballymaloe Cooking Holiday

Why sit at home & watch Martha have all the fun?  Get on over to Shanagarry in County Cork, Ireland for a fantastic cooking experience!

Ballymaloe Cooking School was founded in 1953 and surprisingly is Ireland’s oldest private cooking school.  Ballyaloe prides itself on welcoming chefs of all ages & talents to its doors.  The school offers demonstrations & practical courses where you will work with groups of only six to eight people and produce a variety of dishes.

You can choose between half-day courses, full day, five day or if you’re in it for a longer haul, take the 12 week course.  The classes range in interests from entertaining large groups, organic cooking & even keeping bees and honey recipes.

The main chef at Ballymaloe is founder Darina Allen, who is considered to be one of the best cooks in Ireland, in 2005 she was named the International Association of Culinary Professionals’ Cooking Teacher of the Year.  Allen takes on cooking with a concentration on healthy ingredients and stylish meals. 

Enjoy an Irish holiday & leave with not only culinary & travel experience, but cooking too!
