Clodagh McKenna will make her way to Douglas Court Shopping Centre on Saturday, February 25th to perform two cooking demonstrations; one at 2pm and a second at 3pm. These will be free to attend and will incorporate fresh produce from of the stores in Douglas Court Shopping Centre including The Good Fish Company, The Butcher’s Block, Garden Goodness and Crusty’s Bakery.
Clodagh will also show visitors how to perfect the art of pancake making just in time for Pancake Tuesday on February 28th. It’s the perfect opportunity for everyone to brush up on their pancake-making skills and learn about tasty fillings for all the family to enjoy.
Cork native Clodagh has worked all over the world and is a well known face on Irish, UK and American TV, and is the author of five best-selling cookbooks. She has trained and worked at Ballymaloe Cookery School and House, and is now responsible for a number of farmers’ markets across the country. Along with her restaurant in Dublin, Clodagh also created the menus on Aer Lingus’ European and Transatlantic flights. Clodagh believes that cooking should be “simple, local, seasonal.”
Speaking about Clodagh’s cookery demos on February 25th, Keith Kenny, Manager of Douglas Court Shopping Centre said
“We are delighted to welcome Clodagh to Douglas Court later this month. It’s not every day you have such a talented and popular chef giving live cooking demos free of charge, so we are very excited to have Clodagh sharing her wisdom and favourite pancake recipes with our customers here in Douglas Court, particularly with Pancake Day just around the corner.”
