Interview with Darina Allen, Ballymaloe Cookery School

Fiona Staunton • Mar 03, 2020

Darina is an amazing women, so passionate about teaching people to cook from scratch.

In this video, I am privileged to interview Darina Allen, founder of Ballymaloe Cookery School in East Cork - amongst many other fabulous achievements! http://www.cookingisfun.ie/

"PROMISE LESS AND GIVE MORE" This is a common theme throughout our chat and something that really resonates with me.

We talk about setting up the school, her latest book 'One Pot feeds all', food as medicine, real food and her greatest achievement and so much more. Be sure to watch to the end!

 
Darina gave more than three tips but her top tips are:

1. Cut out all processed foods and eat real food  
2. Connect with the seasons 
3. Buy local - why not commit to spending 50% of your food budget with your local farmer
4. If you are eating low-fat foods, get rid of them and get a good butter 
5. Learn to make a loaf of bread.
