What to expect
Here at ‘The Edward Hayden School of Cookery’ we pride ourselves on offering a very fun, informative and educational experience in a very relaxed manner. Mountain views, river walks, water sports, Duiske Abbey, historical landmarks, long established crafts, and indeed ‘The Edward Hayden School of Cookery’ all help to make Graiguenamanagh the hidden gem that it is. The school is based at the back of Edward’s home on Mill Road in the beautiful town of Graiguenamanagh in Ireland’s south east, in view of the much adored Brandon hill.
We enjoy visits from many customers both locally and nationally and here’s a few items to note before you visit.

Edward has published three cookery books. His first self published book, ‘Edward Entertains’ was released in 2008 and is sold out. His next two publications ‘Food to Love’ (which was awarded the prestigious Kerry Food Book of the Year) and ‘Food for Friends’ were published with The O’Brien Press. He is currently putting the finishing touches to his next book, due for release next year.

Over the last 12 years I have acquired a wealth of experience hosting cookery demonstrations around the country at food festivals, hotel function rooms, agricultural shows, school halls as well as many other varied venues. Give us a shout if you would like to arrange a promotional or fundraising cookery demonstration in the future.
