BRONAGH DUFFIN

For as long as I can remember my life has always been about food. My first cookery
book was by Delia Smiths and as a child I read it most nights before I went to sleep dreaming of how I would love to cook these amazing dishes.

For me cooking and baking is a wonderful journey beginning with selecting great local, seasonal produce. From great ingredients and using tried and tested family recipes, I believe food can nourish the body and mind transporting us to a place of contentment and happiness.

One of my favourite memories is of me as a child eating my Grannies freshly baked
soda bread with lots of butter, melting on my fingers and feeling happy and safe at that time. I want to share that experience in my classes and my traditional baking classes definitely take you back to your childhood.

For me food heals and comforts in so many ways from selecting ingredients, cooking it with a favourite recipe and enjoying a home-cooked meal with those you love.

I never want to stop learning about
new ingredients, recipes and ways to teach people to love it as much as I do. I hope you find something which interests you.

MY STORY

My name is Bronagh Duffin and founded a small cookery school in the countryside near the village of Bellaghy in 2017. As a registered theatre nurse it was a big step to follow my dreams, turning my baking and cooking hobby into a career by opening my own cookery school to share my passion with others. My desire is to cook delicious, simple, nourishing, locally sourced, seasonal, home-made food and make this available for everyone to learn.

BAKE HOUSE

At Bakehouse we are a small family business passionate about food, our local beautiful countryside and produce. We love to turn our fabulous local, seasonal ingredients into delicious dishes and to share these skills in a fun, learning experience. In particular, foraging for our delicious local food such as blackberries or sloes is an amazing opportunity to get outside and bring the tastes and scents into the kitchen table. We believe the process of cooking and eating is one of life’s pleasures, which nourishes the body, sooths the mind and creates a great experience of community and fun. Our workshops are relaxing, fun experiences in which you can take time out for yourself, maybe make a few new friends and surprise yourself with a new skill while producing something tasty, nutritious and simple that you can recreate at home in your own kitchen.
