Just wrapped up an amazing class with Mark, and I *had* to share this for anyone heading to Ireland – it's a must-do! The class is hands-on, and trust me, arrive hungry and plan a nice walk afterwards. The food? Absolutely incredible! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Mark and Bernie make a great team. Classes are well set up with really easy to follow, delicious recipes. You can participate in the cooking or just sit back and watch Mark in action. It's a nice evening out with friends and family or just by yourself.

We're so excited that Mark and Bernie of Just Cooking will be catering our weeklong Writeaways writing workshop at Carriglea House again this September! Last year they delighted our writers with fabulous evening meals and their charming company. This year they're adding a cooking class to our special events. We can't wait!

We did an Italian themed cookery class for my sister in laws hen and it was a fantastic experience. Bernie was so helpful to deal with when organising the class and Mark made sure we were entertained and well fed during the class. We all got lots of cooking tips and he was able to answer any questions. We had a range of ages etc at the hen and everyone loved the class.
