Ballyknocken Cookery School

Ballyknocken Cookery School is set on a working farm near Glenealy, County Wicklow, in the rolling country between the mountains and the coast. Classes are hands-on, and cover the sort of cooking that suits a home kitchen, with an emphasis on Irish ingredients and seasonal produce.

Courses generally range from short demonstrations and half-day sessions to longer classes, often finishing with a meal made by the group. The farm setting, with kitchen garden produce close at hand, gives a clear link between what is grown and what ends up on the plate. Booking in advance is normally required.
