Post-tax profits at the famed Ballymaloe Cookery School last year more than doubled to €326,672.

This year, the East Cork school reached a global audience when it featured on the Netflix series Being Gordon Ramsey when cameras followed the celeb chef and family to see Ramsey’s daughter, Tilly, who was participating in the renowned 12-week certificate course at Ballymaloe.
