Such was the success of last year’s ‘A Simply Delicious Christmas’ that Rory and Darina are back - and this year, with two Christmas programmes. Once again, they bring thirty years of teaching experience to bear, and a style and substance that are unique to Ballymaloe, plus of course some sibling rivalry.
For many people, entertaining at Christmas is about much more than the day itself, so they have come up with suggestions that are perfect for the festive season, and straightforward to achieve.(Sponsored by Kerrygold).
