Hazelwood Student has Recipe for Success!

In an attempt to safeguard the expertise and skills of grandparents in Ireland and in many parts of the world, Darina Allen helped to launch the first Slow Food International Grandmother’s Day, last year which was celebrated on April 25th. It is an opportunity for grandmothers and grandfathers to bring together their grandchildren in order to impart their knowledge, experience and to reminisce about their own childhoods. These occasions allow precious life skills to be shared and not forgotten.

The Irish Examiner newspaper in conjunction with Slow Food Ireland welcomed and supported the initiative for the second year running. School students were invited to enter the competition by sending in their favourite grannies’ recipe along with reasons for their choice. The winning recipe chosen was submitted by Sharon Geary, a 5th Year student in Hazelwood College, Dromcollogher.

Part of Sharon’s prize is a cookery demonstration in Hazelwood College by none other than Darina Allen of the internationally acclaimed Ballymaloe Cookery School, Shanagarry Co. Cork. “The Home Economics department are absolutely delighted with Sharons’ success and we are currently preparing for the forthcoming demonstration by Darina Allen in the school on Tuesday 17th May” said Ms. Daly.
