Ballyknocken House

At Ballyknocken Cookery School you will find a fresh, fun approach to cooking with an emphasis on hands on courses with an inspirational choice of classes, run by TV chef and food writer Catherine Fulvio. So whether you want to hone your skills, cook for the family or entertain your friends Ballyknocken Cookery School offers a course to suit you. Our promise to you is an informative yet fun culinary experience in authentic surroundings, using only our own garden and best local produce.

Catherine, herself a Wicklow native, says she learned her cooking skills from her mother and then trained professionally.  Her naturally vivacious personality and pure infectious enthusiasm for food has led her to where she is today.  Catherine and her team host a variety of classes offering mouth-watering dishes while at the same time they dispense helpful advice.

Catherine is highly acclaimed for her hands on, no- fuss style of cookery, using the freshest ingredients possible. She believes that cooking should fun and her easy approach together with recipes that encourage those who normally shy away from cookery is a winning combination.  At the other end of the scale, she also runs her very popular entertaining and gourmet classes for her regular clientele.  She has her own TV Series “Catherine’s Italian Kitchen” and is a regular on TV screens both at home and abroad.  When Catherine is not busy in the kitchen she is busy researching new courses, menus and recipes to delight you with.
