Definitely a highlight of our trip to Ireland! Kate welcomed us into her home and provided wonderful instructions laced with tales of her experiences! Myself, my daughter and grand daughter had an experience we will never forget!

A MUST-DO!! Kate welcomes you into her home like you're a family member. She teaches you step by step on how to make scones as well as bread. (Btw ours came out DELICIOUS 😋). An experience we will never forget!! 🫶🥰🍞

Must do experience while in the Galway area!! Kate welcomed us into her kitchen and her home. We learned how to make scones and bread alongside her and were able to sit down and enjoy the fruits of our labors right out of the oven - along with a pot of tea. This was hands down one of the best experiences we had while visiting Ireland!!!!

Kate and her husband were great hosts. We enjoyed the class tremendously and were especially excited about the outcome - the fluffiest and most delicious scones we have ever tasted. With the recipe going back home with us, we will recreate this experience in the near future.

Great experience! You do make and eat your scones and bread. Drink tea and coffee with your baked goods. Very personal. The hosts were very kind in picking us up and dropping us off at the bus stop.

This was a super fun and unique experience! Spending time in a private home in Ireland learning a local skill was just flat out enjoyable, especially with Kate, who was an enthusiastic hostess and a great instructor. I felt very welcome in her home and got to enjoy my homemade scones and bread after the class was over!!

Absolutely wonderful baking experience and lesson! Yummy tastings too! Kate is the perfect baking instructor….she is so very knowledgeable, gives easy and clear instructions and is great to help with technique. Not to mention she is an extremely delightful, funny and warm person! We learned so much, made new friends and had a most memorable morning in Kate’s kitchen. Can’t wait to take more of her courses! ❤️🍀 Highly recommend! We walked out happy and with a bag of delicious scones and bread we had learned to bake! 😊😊😊

My daughter and I visited for the scones and bread cooking and had a fantastic time. Kate was very warm and welcoming. A great experience for families or individuals learning how to make perfect Irish scones and bread {or stew). Anyone can use a recipe, but Kate shows the proper way to mix and make the best tasting items while providing an experience we'll cherish forever. Thank you Kate!
