Highlights
  • Galway Cookery Classes - Irish stew is renowned throughout the world and was recently listed by The Lonely Planet in their Top 50 food experiences. I give guests a hands on experience of preparing and cooking this healthy and nutritious dish using my own traditional recipe handed down to me from my grandmother. Guests will learn which vegetables to use and what cut of lamb gives best results. And at the end you get to have lunch with the finished product.

If you’re driving from Galway city to Kilcolgan village take the first left after O’Donoghues Bar, you’ll get to a T junction after a couple of kilometers, take the left and then take the first right after you drive over the bridge. I’m the last house in this estate and have a purple door.

What's Included
  • Snacks
Meal Options
  • Irish Stew - The guests will be able to try the stew they made along with some brown bread we will bake together during the experience.

Amazing cooking class. Don’t miss - Wow! Kate is an amazing host —and the cooking class was 3 hours and a blast. We even gathered herbs from her garden to make the lamb stew. We did 3 variations of brown bread. And the pear scones were delicious and moist-dry and delicious with Irish butter. No clotted crème in Ireland. These are not Starbucks scones. Just mouthwatering. Kate is a hoot and one of our favorite things we did in Ireland!

Delicious Stew with an Amazing Host - Kate’s cooking experience was an amazing opportunity for our family. You must book with her if you are near the Galway area! The food, conversation, and laughter was memorable for our family and we appreciate the personal connection that Kate made with each of us. Her food is spectacular and Kate is truly a wonderful person. Thank you for these unforgettable moments on our journey!

Try the stew it’s delicious! - Kate and Valentina were wonderful and welcoming hosts as well as their pup CoCo. They helped us make the advertised soup and bread and allowed us to join in with the next group doing scones. They allowed us to sit in Kate’s beautiful garden and eat up the stew, bread, and scones we made. Great day! My grandmother was ecstatically happy. Thanks Kate and Valentina.

Lovely time! - What a lovely time with Kate and Valentina. We had a lovely time from beginning to end: it was great to pick herbs from the garden to toss into the stew. It would have been fun if the timing had worked out where we could try our own stew, but we were running a bit late so that was our fault. We got to make 3 kinds of bread, which well made up for it: spelt bread, brown bread, and blueberry scones. Highly recommend the experience!

What a Fun Cooking Class! - Kate is the best!! She really makes it fun to learn how to make Brown Bread and Stew. We also opted for making some scones as well. What a feast and now with recipes in hand, we can recapture all the things we made and remember the fun we had.
