Ballymaloe Cookery School, Shanagarry Co. Cork

Welcome to the multi-award-winning Ballymaloe Cookery School which has been delivering a first class culinary education to students all over the world since 1983. We are proud of our long-standing tradition of excellence and our Slow Food philosophy.

Our prestigious 12 Week Certificate is internationally recognised and has been the first step on the culinary journey of many well-known chefs, food producers and food writers around the world. The Ballymaloe Cookery School Alumni are a wide network of people from all walks of life and all age-groups. Each year we are delighted to invite many distinguished guest chefs to participate in our school curriculum.

SUSTAINABILITY

With sustainability as one of our guiding principles, we are committed to producing as much organic produce as we can on our 100 acre organic farm. As we are a world renowned cookery school, teaching a diverse range of cuisines, we must guarantee that our students have the very best and widest range of ingredients with which to work. When we cannot source something from our list of local and national suppliers, we work with a network of carefully selected international suppliers.

SHORT COURSES

At Ballymaloe Cookery School we also offer a diverse range of short courses, keeping our finger on the pulse with international trends in the food industry. These can vary from half-day to 2.5 days or even week or month long courses. We are continually shaping our calendar to meet as many needs and expectations as possible. Visitors to Ballymaloe Cookery School also have the option of joining our daily Afternoon Demonstrations which are a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and to literally get a taste of what we do here at the school!

If you are considering taking one of our many courses, or simply would like some more information about the school, we would love to answer any questions that you may have. Request a call back. 

We hope to welcome you to our beautiful Ballymaloe Cookery School!

One of the most popular activities for guests to Ballymaloe Cookery School is our Garden Tour. We are fortunate to be surrounded here at the Cookery School by some of the most beautiful gardens in County Cork. With each of the different gardens having its own unique atmosphere and history, our Garden Tour is highly recommended as a wonderful way to learn about the evolution of these gardens over the years, particularly after Tim and Darina Allen moved to Kinoith as a young couple. What better way to learn about the wide variety of plants, flowers and vegetables than to have one of our knowledgeable tour guides point them out and describe them to you. Depending on how much time you have, our tour can last from 45 to 90 minutes and is peppered with information about the concepts involved in the various garden designs, their key features and what is planned for them in the future. Weather and time permitting, our tour will take in visits to each of our gardens, including part of the farm.

  • The Water Garden
  • The Ornamental Fruit Garden
  • The Kitchen Garden
  • Lydia’s Garden
  • The Herb Garden
  • The Old Pleasure Garden
  • Herbaceous Border and Shell House
  • The Vegetable Patch
  • The Glasshouses
  • Animal Enclosures

A guide will be provided free of charge for groups of more than 15 people with an admission price of €7.50 pp. (Concessions do not apply to tours.)

We charge €20 for a guide for groups of 15 people or less. Please phone us in advance  on +353 21 4646785 to arrange a garden tour.
