"A wonderful atmosphere and EVERYONE was so friendly and helpful - even after more than 20 years being asked the same silly questions! Admirable!!"

"I'd like to pay special tribute to all the chefs/tutors who were excellent and did so much to make my experience so special. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks to Gary, Emer, Pat, Debbie, Florrie, Sorcha, Tracie, Pam, Sally, and apologies to anybody I've left out. Ballymaloe truly has excellent staff to be proud of."

"I really enjoyed the course and learnt so many new skills. The demonstrations and the practical sessions in the kitchen were great and all the people at Ballymaloe were so helpful and friendly. I can't say enough good things about my time at Ballymaloe Cookery School, it was just an amazing experience!"

"This past week I spent in Ballymaloe has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It was practical, lots of demonstrations and opportunities to practice. It was also incredible value for money. I look forward to going back to Ballymaloe in the future for other courses. Thank you to everyone for such an amazing time."

Very friendly staff, lovely surroundings, and so much passion for local products - you just want to get home and start cooking! Darina and Rachel were so interesting, kind and helpful. I enjoyed every minute of it!"
