Full course details
No matter where you travel on this planet, food is the common link that binds us all. It enhances our daily experiences and it allows us to live happy and well. This course is about learning, collaborating, meeting new people, trying new things, exploring some of the wonderful flavours that great food has to offer, and most of all, having fun!
Dublin Cookery School is passionate about sharing cookery skills with young people that can help them navigate the next stages of their lives. Perhaps they want to feel confident preparing delicious meals for themselves and their family, or are looking for dishes that they can make their own and carry off to university and the world beyond. In any case, this week is all about getting the culinary low-down on how to take care of yourself in the kitchen while learning skills that may potentially lead to that first part-time job!

"So impressed"
Just wanted to email to thank you for the brilliant week R has had! All his family have tasted & enjoyed the amazing produce he has bought home from the course every day! We are so impressed at the range and apparent ease he has been making, what seems like,
pretty complicated dishes - he tells us about what he’s been making every day
