Home baking is a recipe for success

Baking at home is continuing to remain a favourite with Irish consumers, according to a new Bord Bia study.

It has five core ingredients from three key agri-food sectors, dairy, tillage and poultry, and is worth an estimated €119m a year to the national economy.

Flour, eggs, butter, margarine/sugar and milk are skilfully combined to create wholesome home-baked food, a skill embedded in Ireland’s folklore.
