Head Chefs & Junior Chefs

August will see the introduction of a new innovative, novel cookery course for adults and children – guaranteed fun learning and bonding in the kitchen. Parents & children, aunts & nieces, godfathers and godchildren come together to learn the skill of patience and support to the budding chefs. This is a fun hands-on kids and adults cookery class and includes light supper and your own suite of recipes to take home. And hopefully once school starts your young chefs will be able to assist you in the kitchen.

Autumn will also see more work on the Ballyknocken Kitchen Garden and the Cookery Courses at Ballyknocken will have an even more seasonal flair with A Taste of Autumn and harvesting herbs at Ballyknocken, Winter Entertaining to the return of Renowned Caterer, Georgina Philips from Wild Thyme, when she shares her flair and makes entertaining at home easy!

If a one day Cookery Course is not enough to cut it, why not consider enrolling on the NEW 3 Day Programme Teaching you all the skills required for Delicious Dinner Parties. As an art domestic cooking has undergone serious change with competition between friends and family in what is put on the table. Cooking is an important social interaction and aspect of family life and should be indulged with passion – this three day course is the answer to all your Dinner Party prayers. This new programme includes menu planning, table setting, food presentation and guarantees you will come away with a signature recipe ensuring a dinner party your friends will remember.
