Chocolate Passions & Edible Treats
Limited to 10 participants per course
Benoit Lorge first started making his signature line of chocolates in 1995. A passionate chef with a true love for the beauty of fine chocolate, he has dedicated himself to the pursuit of chocolate perfection and now supplies only gourmet shops and restaurants. His course here in February proved extremely popular. Due to popular demand he has agreed to return to share even more of his wonderful techniques, including tempering, moulding, and enrobing.
During this course you will mould chocolate bonbons, temper chocolate on a marble slab, create mouth watering truffles, frame ganache and learn to use a guitare to portion the filling, make a variety of ganache including 5 new recipes, with ginger, caramel, lime … and much more.
Participants will also receive a box of ‘Lorge Handmade Chocolates’.
Fee €195

In 2008 we ran several cookery courses with Sue Holland and Ian Parr and though Sue and Ian could not return to Inish Beg in 2009 as planned due to opening their new restaurant in France we were delighted to welcome Clodagh McKenna to Inish Beg. She ran two Cookery Courses here in September 2009 which proved very popular, following the release of her book and RTE series of the same title “Fresh From The Sea”.
This course coincided with the RTE Nationwide’s program featuring Baltimore and Inish Beg and with the West Cork Food Festival in Skibbereen.
In November 2009 cookery course, “Artisan Baking & Edible Gifts”, hosted by the experienced and gifted pastry chef and baker, Jackie Lanigan Ryan, proved so popular that we repeated it in early December. Jackie is returning to share even more of her culinary skills secrets with her eager students in 2010 – on the 20th & 21st November and 11th & 12th December.
We have run Cookery courses for Children and Teenagers at the request of parents who were guests here and we have also run several tailor made short courses for special groups, e.g. hen parties weekending here.
Our Organic Farm produces organic lamb which is butchered locally and sold directly to our discerning customers. We were very pleased that our first organic oats was accepted by Flahavans for their famous organic porridge oats and our guests always enjoy our fruit, vegetables, eggs and honey. Inish Beg honey was really in demand locally as it was the third poor year in a row for bees and honey production in Ireland.
Just a quick note to thank you again for a great weekend of cooking. I had a wonderful time. Tegwyn Stephenson
Thank you so much for the wonderful cookery course on the weekend of 19th April. I really enjoyed it and learnt so much Helen Scully
Thanks to everyone for another great weekend of learning, eating and laughing! Catherine Roantree
Thanks again for a great course Joan Burke
We had a great time - have recommended it to all my foodie friends! Betty Dinneen
The course was as good as I'd hoped it would be. Sue turned out to be a natural communicator, all the while dishing up tips and advice, such as how to deal with that tricky membrane that, if you don't remove it, curls around a piece of monkfish like an elastic band, spoiling your presentation of any dish which includes it. There was a lot of time spent on exactly how to prepare and cook fish to optimise it to its very best, and Georgiana Keane's awesome kitchen in the main Inish Beg house was a great place to learn restaurant techniques in a domestic environment. Ian Parr was a gem of a teacher too, while keeping the whole operation running efficiently. Sally McKenna
I really enjoyed the week immensely and miss all sorts of things about it – the walks around the garden, being served a glass of wine at lunch (and at 4 in the afternoon), the professionalism of Sue and Ian and of course the ‘craic’. Jane Murphy
Thanks for running the great cooking course last weekend. Maria Coleman
