More Baking... this time in Ireland!

For those of your who don't know, this is me (having a bit of a bad hair day!) and Rachel Allen (who, after baking all day in a hot kitchen still looks lovely!).
Rachel is a bit of a celeb over this side of the world. She has brought out many great cookery books and is on the box baking all the time.
Her family own and run a cookery school about an hour outside of Cork.
So off I went to Ballymaloe to Bake with Rachel Allen! 

We started with a demonstration class where Rachel made about 30 different things!! 

...and then we got to taste it all.... :D 

After stuffing our faces and trying to decide what we would choose to bake the next day I took a walk through the gardens... they were beautiful! 

This was my home away from home... 

Day two and three we were able to get our hands dirty...

 I have to say, I could've stayed there for much longer than three days! I loved it! 

Here I am with my Aunt Florence's Orange cake.... with Aunt Florence! 

After coming home I got straight into testing out some of the recipes... 
I made my own raspberry Jam


and sweet scones to go with it! YUM!
