Cookery & Good Food at Inish Beg

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.

Cookery Courses November 2007 - Comments

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

“The Boat House at Inish Beg, designed by architect Tony Cohu, has become a famous piece of modernist Irish architecture, sitting proud out on the water on the Inish Beg estate, Frank Lloyd Wright meets Glen Murcott on an island off the coast of – where else?- West Cork. Aside from the Boat House, there are lots of other superbly comfortable cottages to rent in Paul and Georgie Keane’s complex of rental properties, and there is also the terrifically delicious Inish Beg honey to be enjoyed”
