Choose from two exclusive stays, a 4-night stay from 5–9 October, including a day trip to West Cork or a 3-night stay from 3–6 November.
Both experiences include a wonderful afternoon cooking at Ballymaloe Cookery School, visits to local food producers and coastal foraging, along with time to relax and enjoy the seasonal dining and warm hospitality of Ballymaloe House. Explore the full October and November itineraries.
Cook’s Holiday is an unforgettable experience, or a thoughtful gift, for anyone passionate about cooking, Irish food, and hands-on learning with Rachel Allen.

The prestigious Ballymaloe 12 WeekCertificate Course is run three times a year, with courses beginning in January,April or May, and September.
The course is aimed at anyone with a passionate interest in food. Many of our students use the course as a springboard to become a professional chef; others use it to equip themselves with a marketable skill.
Others still take the course simply to maximize the pleasure they get from cooking at home.
Students develop a deep and detailed understanding of food and how it is produced. The emphasis is on recognising the best ingredients and knowing how to showcase them.
