The Cookery School opened in July 2006. Located in the restored original Victorian kitchens in the Castle, the learning space is a chef's dream. It houses one of the famous Molteni ovens - an unrivalled masterpiece - handcrafted to meet Castle Leslie's unique needs. www.molteni.com.
One of the best known cookery schools in Ireland and open all year round, the School offers cookery courses personally designed by our Masterchef and his team. Whether you're an experienced cook or a culinary novice, we run the right course to help you develop your skills.
The courses include a diverse and exciting range of evening, one-day and two-day cookery courses for up to twelve people such as 'Men Only', 'Guilt-free Cooking' and 'Food & Erotica'. Whichever you choose, the Cookery School is a relaxing distraction from modern-day stress, introducing you to new skills, new people, new tastes and new unforgettable experiences.
Why not combine a Cookery School experience with one of the luxury accommodation options at Castle Leslie and create the perfect recipe for a luxury hotel break in Ireland? Combine your course with an overnight stay in the historic Castle, the newly-renovated Hunting Lodge or the self-catering Village Cottages.
The Cookery School can be hired by private parties or corporate groups seeking an unusual team building exercise. Or choose the 'Chef's table' option that allows up to 18 guests to watch your chef create a bespoke menu and then feast on their efforts.
