An afternoon with one of Ireland’s culinary heroes? Yes please!
The brilliant Darina Allen will be hosting a tea session at Itsa at Harvey Nichols on June 17th, showcasing the best from her book, “30 Years at Ballymaloe”.
The Afternoon Tea will feature new treats and recipes from the cookbook which was awarded the Avonmore Cookbook of the Year at the Irish Book Awards last year.
30 Years at Ballymaloe features over 100 recipes and highlights the best of the Cookery School in Cork, including contributions from past students and guest chefs.
With dishes such as Heirloom Tomato Salad with Wasabi Mascarpone to Green Gooseberry and Elderflower Trifle, Darina’s focus is always on the freshest, finest ingredients and celebrating delicious food in all its glory.
Since it first opened in 1983, Ballymaloe has become Ireland’s longest established cookery school. It has played host to an internationally diverse range of pupils from 16-69 years old and an impressive array of guest chefs, from Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers of the River Café to Claudia Roden, Madhur Jaffrey, Rick Stein, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Yotam Ottolenghi.
World-renowned for its 12-week certificate course, over the past 30 years the school has expanded its repertoire and now offers over 100 courses so students can learn how to cure meat, make gluten-free meals and sushi as well as discovering forgotten skills such as producing butter and cheese and beekeeping.
The event for Afternoon Tea takes place on Tuesday, June 17th at 3.30pm – Tickets are priced at €45, which includes a copy of the cookbook and there will be an opportunity for a signing during the event.
