Highlights
  • Morehampton Road - Join me in my Victorian Dublin City home for a real Irish food & culture experience. And a real Irish welcome.

First we’ll relax with some tea or coffee. Then we’ll make two Irish food bakes traditional in Irish culture. As we bake I’ll share passion for Irish food & Irish culture. You’ll get a unique insight into Irish life. As a diet & wellness coach I’ll share my cooking tips so you can live healthier and happier lives.

First we’ll bake some delicious Irish scones using a traditional Irish recipe. While that’s in the oven we’ll make Granny’s Apple Cake using a traditional method. After that we’ll sit down with a nice tea/coffee and enjoy the warm Irish baking. We’ll enjoy fresh cream, butter and jam melting into the warm scones, delicious. The warm spiced apple cake is so good with a good dollop of fresh cream which melts into it, absolutely devine.

This is a hands-on food experience and suitable for 8+ years. It is an ideal family experience & baking experience. Dietary requirements can be catered for, just let me know in advance. You can take your extra baking home and I’ll send a copy of the recipes.

In this practical course, I’ll lead you in creating two deliciously authentic Irish baked goods.

I’ll also provide you with the recipes so you can recreate these goodies at your convenience. All the necessary tools and ingredients are provided for you.

First trip to Dublin! - Simply put, I had the most wonderful time with Emily. It was the absolute highlight of my five days (first trip) to Dublin. I would totally recommend this booking! The experience was so lovely! I thoroughly enjoyed not only Emily's expertise, but also her warm and inviting personality. She ensured that you had a memorable time learning to bake, and you were comfortable with others in her sweet home.

Fabulous Home Baking Experience in Dublin - Emily was a fabulous host to myself and my teen daughter, instantly made to feel welcome in her lovely home. We had a cup of tea and some homemade scones before we started on the baking itself. Emily tailored the baking recipes to our special requests and was very mindful of my daughter’s nut allergy. We made Irish Soda Bread and Granny’s Apple Cake, and took our creations home with us! It was a fun relaxed morning in Dublin and I would highly recommend this experience. Thank you Emily!

Fabulous Irish Baking Experience! - My 20 something daughter and I loved Emily’s baking class so much! We wanted a flavor for life in Ireland and a yummy baking experience! We got that and more! We had tea and a delicious bread and made scones and apple bread that were passed down recipes from Emily’s family. Then we enjoyed eating our delicious baked goods in Emily’s beautiful home. Emily was delightful, shared about Irish culture in a personal way, and gave us many recommendations of fun things to do while we were there! I highly recommend her baking experience to visitors of all ages!

Scones and conversation, a lovely time - Lovely time cooking with Emily. I always thought scones were impossible to get right, but now I know the secret - work the butter into the flour and do not over handle the dough. Highly recommend the walk from central Dublin to get to the location. Emily open's up her home and makes you feel most welcome...now I even know what Hurling is thanks to Emily's lovely children!

Honeymoon Baking! - My husband and I went to Ireland for our honeymoon! I am an avid baker so I knew a baking class was something I had to do in Ireland! We had the absolute best morning with Emily as well as her daughters when they stopped in! Emily welcomed us into her home with such grace. We made delicious scones and Irish apple cake! This was definitely an experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in learning about Ireland! Emily also gave us tips and ideas about where else to visit during our stay. Emily was a wonderful host/teacher! Will definitely book a class again with her next time we go to Ireland!
