Everything parents and students ask us about the TY Cookery Course.
Yes, your host and teacher Lolly lives above the adjacent cookery school extension to the cottage.
The students will all dine together for their evening meals. We have an extensive collection of books, movies and board games for them to enjoy in the down time.
If a student becomes ill, the parents/guardians will be contacted immediately. If they are feeling under the weather and need to sit out from a class that is absolutely okay, however we will notify the parents/guardians to let them know.
The group of students can decide how they would like to share the rooms, in pairs or in threes for groups of six. If a student requires a single room to themselves we will accommodate group bookings of five students.
Not necessarily – we welcome all TY students, so friend groups from different schools can come together.
The students will go home with a full recipe book of all the dishes they have accomplished throughout the week, along with some yummy samples for family and friends. They will also be awarded a certificate of completion of the course and HACCP food health & safety level 1.
Just themselves and comfortable clothes to wear in the kitchen. Towels and toiletries are provided along with aprons and all safety materials for the kitchen.
We require a booking deposit of €100 per student, with the balance to be paid 2 weeks prior to their reservation.
