Details
Step into the heart of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands and receive a genuine Irish welcome at this bespoke cookery school in County Roscommon, a place known for its rolling fields, peaceful towns, and unspoiled beauty. Nestled amid their own farmland and surrounded by the region’s famous Roscommon sheep, this charming farmhouse is where a love for baking and Irish tradition come beautifully to life.
Â
Your hostess-affectionately known as the Brown Bread Nurse-is a passionate baker who proudly claimed the title of National Brown Bread Baking Competition winner in 2015. What began as a personal love of baking quickly grew into a series of intimate, hands-on cookery classes, each one celebrating Irish ingredients, culture, and heritage.
Â
Visitors are invited to roll up their sleeves and learn how to bake Traditional Irish Soda Bread with an award-winning baker, using farm-fresh ingredients in a warm and welcoming farmhouse kitchen. Between delicious aromas and easy laughter, guests experience what it truly means to cook from the land—embracing the farm-to-fork philosophy and the rhythm of the seasons.
Â
As you knead, bake, and taste, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the working farm, where you might catch a glimpse of the host’s husband herding sheep across the fields with his loyal sheepdog, Max. It’s more than a cooking class-it’s a heartfelt slice of rural Ireland, rich with nostalgia, warmth, and a deep connection to the land and where its food is from.Â
