"Edward - a great asset to the cookery school" Adrian Bolton, Dublin. 24/02/08  

"Dishes I initially thought were beyond the realms of my capabilities were suddenly entirely achievable.  And most important of all I was enjoying myself....After two days at Dunbrody, I felt refreshed and inspired.  Their belief that cooking should be fun is reflected in the well-rounded courses.  Above all it was not simply a lesson in how to cook; but a lesson in how to eat and enjoy making meals.  And therein lies the joy of Dunbrody.  Much more than simply a hotel, cookery school and restaurant, its an ethos in how to live well."  Karen Creed, The Sunday Independent 18th January 2009.

Dunbrody Cookery School has been designed to cater for all levels of cooks, from budding enthusiasts (Back to Basics) to the experienced gourmet (specialised courses). The perfect blend of demonstration and hands-on individual tuition means that you will learn practically and be able to reproduce the dishes at home in your own kitchen.

Located just opposite Dunbrody Country House where the restaurant has received numerous awards the simple philosophy of under-stated but delicious food follows on in the Dunbrody Cookery School.

All of the courses at the Dunbrody Cookery School have been personally designed by Celebrity Masterchef Kevin Dundon who can often be viewed on RTE's Afternoon Show, HEAT, BBC's Saturday Kitchen and the Market Kitchen.  The cookery school has also received numerous excellent reports from magazines like Sainsbury's Food, Waitrose Illustrated, Olive, Food & Wine and many newspapers too.

Under the care and guidance of our Cookery School Chef Edward guests will learn the secrets of producing fine food using only the best of quality Irish ingredients. The emphasis at Dunbrody Cookery School is on freshness and sesonality of locally-sourced ingredients and utilising these to achieve fabulous dishes without the worry of overly-complicated recipes.

Courses range from a variety of one day courses to the ever popular 2 day Dinner Parties for Six course. With groups of up to ten we offer guests the chance to translate their enthusiasm and love for food into the real skills needed to produce fantastic food. Our belief is that cooking should be fun and our courses are designed to be fun also.
