Here at Snugboro I also provide a bespoke cookery class service for groups of one to twelve people. The classes are based on the use of top quality ingredients. My focus is to teach people how to cook for themselves, families and friends. Classes are suitable for experienced or beginner cooks. You tell me your requirements and I will provide suggested menus and then we can refine them to suit your needs. Classes can follow several formats: a morning class with lunch, an all day class with lunch and supper, a weekend class with lunches and suppers or an afternoon class followed by supper.

I aim to inspire both learners and the jaded longtime cook.

The atmosphere is relaxed and civilised but focused on imparting as much information as possible during the classes.

At last Spring has arrived.

The weather has taken a turn for the better and if you stand quietly in the garden, I swear you can hear things growing.

The rhubarb is jumping out of the ground and the wild garlic has colonised the hedgerows . Make the most of this seasonal treat. I wilted some of the leaves last evening and had it with scrambled eggs from my happy hens. Perfect.

I am giving a 1 Day class at the Ballymaloe Cookery School on July 22nd, with my great friend Skye Gyngell from Petersham Nurseries in Richmond. We will be cooking the dishes we both love to cook, sharing ideas and knowledge and making the most of the produce of high summer. Contact me here or at www.cookingisfun for more details.
