Ballyknocken Cookery School

Reviewed By EMMsmyth

Fun way to spend a few hours.We tried the plant based class and it was well worth it and good fun . It was led by the wonderful Edel who was very informative, charming and easy to listen to . This class is a combination of demonstration and hands on cooking . Splitting into teams worked very well as everyone just fell into a system of cooking together, thankfully no big egos . The recipes were easy to follow and all the ingredients were standard store cupboard essentials . Catherine Fulvio dropped in to chat with everyone, again she was welcoming and keen for everyone to enjoy the experience rather than pushing her books . If you are looking for a cookery class ... give it a go .

Nabin and his team have created something really special here. Anahata is a beautiful space for yoga and massage. I highly recommend Nabin’s deep tissue massage. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge and can gently and intuitively find pressure points and release tension. He literally melts the knots of your muscles. The atmosphere is respectful and serene and the space is immaculately clean and peaceful.

What can I say, we stumbled across this gem in powerscourt estate! We had a fantastic tour by Stephanie and a great whiskey tasting at the end of the tour. This place is lovely and the staff so friendly and accommodating! We ended up buying the 18yr old amazing whiskey! This distillery also holds events and would be perfect for an office / corporate event!
