A Feast Straight from the Greenhouses

We have amazingly productive greenhouses here at the Ballymaloe Cookery School.  In Summer, they are bursting with produce - tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, sweet peppers, aubergines, courgettes, green beans, peaches, nectaries, figs, fresh herbs... We’ll start the afternoon with a guided tour of our organic farm and gardens.  Back to the demonstration kitchen where we will add some meat, fish and spices to create irresistible dishes to share with your family and friends.  

What you’ll learn

• Great recipes featuring amazing fresh produce from our Greenhoues.  Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Radishes, Sweetcorn and Aubergines. 
• A variety of essential techniques you’ll use again and again

Course elements
