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.

James Ramsden, from Yorkshire, who spent 12 weeks with us in 2004, has had a fun time using his cooking skills.

In 2009, he launched the Secret Larder Supper Club in London with his sister. He has written about food and cookery for The Times, The Guardian, Sainsbury’s Magazine and was chosen as one of the ‘40 Bloggers who Really Count’ by The Times in May, 2010.
