An action-packed first day of the January 12-Week Cookery Course. 🌅🍞
Our 66 students from 15 nationalities 🌍 started bright and early at 6am in the #BallymaloeBreadShed.
After the welcome breakfast, they got stuck into transplanting Little Gem salad plants 🥬, meeting the pigs 🐖, cows 🐄, and chickens 🐓, and touring the farm with Darina Allen. 🚜
After lunch with Rachel Allen🍴, they finished the day with Rory O’Connell, learning what they’ll be cooking tomorrow morning.👩🍳👨🍳Edited · 10h
