🇮🇪 AN INTRODUCTION TO IRISH COOKING

Many people have preconceptions about what Irish cuisine looks like from stewed potatoes to boiled cabbage but on this island of diverse produce, rugged landscapes and warm hospitality is a cuisine with a rich heritage inspiring a cultural revival among today's chefs. Welcome to the one week taster of our Irish course, where you'll be looking at alternative meat cuts, cooking a delicious dish of braised pork cheeks with pearl barley and pickled fennel. This course is designed to give you a sample of our full 3 month course exploring Ireland's terroir - a wild place whose rivers and seas are full of fish, whose forests are bursting with berries, wild boar and game and whose mountains are inhabited by deer and hare. Through smoking your own fish at home, brining foraged ingredients, baking Irish classics and cooking with game meat. And while the Potato Famine will remain ingrained in the memory of the country, modern Ireland is experiencing a renaissance so, put the kettle on and get ready for a little window into the Emerald Isle.
