The menu: Learn it, cook it

The new Kilkenny Cookery School has just been opened by wife-and-husband chef team, Mary and Neil McEvoy. 

The school offers classes to junior chefs from six-years-old up up to adults. Proud parents can espy their progeny practicing from Mary’s A Slice of Heaven café next door while perhaps contemplating taking a shot themselves at some of the adult classes from Neil — formerly head chef at L’Ecrivain and Dunbrody House — including One Chicken: Five Recipes (May 23) and Baking Breads (May 27).

Pastry specialist Mary offers It’s Nice To Ice (May 13), a cake decorating masterclass ( www.asliceofheaven.ie ).
