Cookery Course

6-WEEK COOKERY COURSE

At Food Matters at the Barn, we have devised a six-week course covering a range of recipes designed for cooking family meals that are both nutritious and cost-effective. With a small class size, lessons are relaxed and there is plenty of time to ask questions and gain top tips as you practically develop your own cookery skills. Lessons take place in the beautiful converted barn with inspiring views of the Mourne Mountains.

No one is to be anxious by their level of cookery skills prior to signing up for the course. The course is designed to improve confidence and ability to do a wide range of tasks in the kitchen, all that is required is a desire to want to be a better cook! Key food safety and hygiene information is also taught as part of the lessons.


Each week, cooks will chose to make one main course and one dessert that can be taken home to enjoy with your family. Cooks are asked to bring the main ingredients whilst larder items will be supplied. Each class includes a cup of tea or coffee allowing participants to reflect on what they have learned.
