I would love my students to go off into the world understanding how to nourish themselves with good fresh food. Learning to cook is a life skill, not a weekend activity Chop it, sizzle it, sauce it, devour it — that’s how we roll in our cooking classes! Each week we dive in hands first, whipping up full meals from scratch (yes, the kids are doing it all — veggies, meat, sauce, everything!) Recent deliciousness: beef tacos, juicy meatballs, turkey stir-fry, Thai chicken, and sweet & sour chicken. Come for the skills, stay for the feast.

Fairyhouse Cookery School - Ratoath
Fairyhouse Cookery School runs cookery classes and camps for children in Ratoath, giving kids hands-on time in the kitchen rather than just watching a demonstration. Hands-on cooking classes are a good way for children to build practical life skills — following a recipe, measuring ingredients, understanding basic techniques — while also getting to enjoy eating what they've made at the end of the session. As the classes run in both regular term-time and camp formats, families can pick whichever suits their schedule, whether that's a weekly class or a concentrated block during the school holidays.

Young Chef at Airfield Estate
Young Chef workshops at Airfield Estate in Dundrum give children aged 8 to 12 a hands-on cooking experience in the estate's Inspiration Kitchen, which looks out over its own food garden. Where possible, ingredients used in class are grown on site. Sunday sessions (10am-12.30pm) are led by experienced educators and cover both sweet and savoury dishes, giving young chefs a rounded set of practical cooking skills rather than a single recipe focus. Beyond the cooking itself, the workshops build a deeper connection to fresh, seasonal ingredients and where food actually comes from - a useful complement to any child's general food education, set against the backdrop of a working city farm estate.

GCakes – Cake Decorating Workshops
GCakes runs hands-on cake decorating workshops using cupcakes, cookies and cakes, tailored around birthdays and other events. Every guest leaves with their own decorated creations plus a box of handmade treats, with all utensils and tools supplied and decorating themes matched to the group's age and interests. Children's workshops are pitched to suit different ages and skill levels, with hands-on guidance throughout, while Tween & Teen Workshops (12+) go a step further into piping, sugar paste, 3D models and more advanced techniques. Note these are decorating rather than baking classes - the baked items are supplied ready to decorate, and allergens aren't catered for as items are baked and stored where nuts are also present. Private events can be arranged at a location of your choice in Dublin.
