Cool Cookin' lessons
Much to my delight Billie O'Shea of Fairyhouse Cookery School, posted me her latest list of upcoming courses. Now I first heard of Billie, when the Mad One, My mother " Big Mamas Mama" and myself booked to attend a course before Christmas 3 years ago. Unfortunately life intervened and we had to cancel at short notice, but Billie being Billie, insisted not to charge us and begged that we attend at another time. I booked in secrecy for another morning before Christmas, where myself and about 8 other ladies were entertained, taught, well fed and watered by the vibrant Billie and I still make her raspberry roulade and prawn starter.
In the upcoming months , May 29th from 10-3 for 95 euro is Barbecues and Salads, with the true optimism only the Irish have in the summer months.Later options include Fast Fresh Fish, Italian BBQ and Al Fresco Food and Six Simple Suppers.
On 17th June she will host a 7 Summer Solutions Demo with Lunch or Supper and glass of vino over a 2 hour period for just 35 euro pp....Bargain !
For the parents among you she will host 3 day summer F camps ( F = food, fitness, fun) putting Billies background as a Health Promtion Nurse to the fore.....love it !

For a while I saw myself as a celebrity chef , having spent many minutes on the loo talking to my reflecion in the tiles in front of me. Any time I took to baking while alone in the kitchen, I invented an imaginary audience who hung on every culinary word. At this stage in my life , between the first and second decades, I had not seen Nigella, who needless to say I would have considered my twin. I had not enjoyed half hours with the Barefoot Contessa, swooned over Marco Pierre, Gordon or Jean Christophe, worshipped Raymond or Neven. In fact, the two chefs I knew best were Ainsley Harriot and Delia Smith, so if you can imagine thier love child, I suppose that would have been me, with her coloring and his stature!
