      Emily is so friendly and welcoming. She is very easy to talk to, which made the experience very enjoyable. We baked delicious scones and an apple cake. We then sat at a table for tea. My adult daughter and I really enjoyed talking with her about Irish language and culture. I would highly recommend this experience when you visit Dublin.

      Baking with Emily!

      Emily is a wonderfully kind and down to earth host! We booked this experience because I've always had an aversion to baking. She helped me understand nothing has to be complicated. We baked scones and an apple cake. 10/10...highly recommend!

      An enjoyable baking experience in Dublin!

      Ah thanks for the lovely review LIsa. I am glad you enjoyed it and it was so nice to meet you. Safe trip home.

      Amazing experience!

      Emily was a delight! She was a great host, a fantastic teacher, and a lot of fun. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience. Our whole group had a blast even the non bakers. It was more than just baking. Emily taught us a lot about Ireland and that rounded out the experience nicely. We could not have been happier. It was worth every penny. We took taxis to and from her house which was also easy. There area she lives in is quiet and cute, and doing this class in her home made it even better. 5 stars. Chef’s kiss!

      Fun, relaxed and informative

      Emily was a delight! Great environment, warm and welcoming and a genuine good laugh. As for the experience itself, my daughter and myself enjoyed every moment. We learnt a few golden nuggets of information that make an attempt to a success. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a fun cooking experience in the area, to sign up for one of Emily's experience classes.

      Cooking with Emily - wonderful!

      Baking is done in a lovely home in the Donnybrook area. Emily is friendly and fun to talk to. Her baking skills are exceptional. Best scones I have ever had.

      A Must!

      Absolute lovely morning baking with Emily. Very gracious and welcoming host. Started off with a cup of tea and warm homemade soda bread. Next up was making scones and a delicious Irish apple cake (my new favorite). This was definitely an experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in learning to bake some traditional recipes. Thank you Emily!

      A delicious experience!

      Cynthia_R, May 2024
      Not only did I learn the recipes and techniques to make delicious scones and apple cake, I had an absolute wonderful time visiting with Emily and learning about her life in Dublin. She was warm and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable in her beautiful home. Would recommend for solo travelers and families. A great experience!

      First trip to Dublin!

      Simply put, I had the most wonderful time with Emily. It was the absolute highlight of my five days (first trip) to Dublin. I would totally recommend this booking! The experience was so lovely! I thoroughly enjoyed not only Emily's expertise, but also her warm and inviting personality. She ensured that you had a memorable time learning to bake, and you were comfortable with others in her sweet home.
