Weekend food with Darina Allen

PAST students of the Ballymaloe Cookery School do a variety of things; some work as chefs or cooks in restaurants, gastro pubs, yachts, ski chalets, catering businesses or as personal chefs. Some do farmers’ markets, B&Bs, delis, or pop-up restaurants. Others blog or write food articles.
