Parent Testimonial

..."It was a great course and very well organised, great to have the videos to watch ahead of the class. My son's favourite dish to make and eat was the stir fry. The rest of us all loved the chicken and leek pie. The dishes were all very tasty. It was great to see how much he progressed each week".

Thank you for the amazing TY Cooks programme that my son is doing! Definitely a highlight of his TY year so far!  Monday evenings 7pm are a happy place in our house with all the good food! - TY Parent  Nov '23


Hi there, My daughter is doing your current TY cookery course and she is ABSOLUTELY LOVING it (as am I, yum!). - TY Parent Nov '23


Hi Vanessa, I’d just like to say that [Son] is really enjoying the cook alongs. He hasn’t cooked much before and is enjoying the course and cooking great food. I’m delighted as there was a good deal of cajoling and scepticism beforehand!! He couldn’t make this Monday so did meal no.2 for us this evening. It was really very good. And such a treat for me! I think it’s a great idea and we are delighted with it. - TY Parent Oct '23

TESTIMONIALS FROM Transition Year Parents:

Hi Vanessa, I was able to pop into Galway to collect my Da off the train. Meanwhile, [Son] had his Chicken Korma all set for when we got in the door. His Grandad was well impressed! [Son] is really enjoying this course and I'm enjoying eating it. The Chicken and Leek Pie was gorgeous! - TY Parent, Shane May 2022

Hi Vanessa Pictures from tonight, [Son] enjoyed the classes, thanks very much! - TY Parent, Carmel May 2022

Hello Vanessa, Thank you so much for the wonderful course. It was great to have my dinner cooked on a Tuesday evening over the past few months!! The recipes were all beautiful and all within [Son's] ability. He learned so much, although he is slow to admit it and I learned a lot of tips as well!    I would certainly recommend this course to anybody and in particular to TY students – it is ideal.    
Thank you for the certificate and all the recipes!  Happy Christmas - Martina
    
Wonderful!!! mission accomplished - feels so great to have a son who can cook!    - Barbara
   
Thanks so much we really enjoyed our time with you. Thanks for doing such a great job too we love your lessons - Mary    
   
Thank you so much, Vanessa! We’re all delighted! Such an achievement. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, you’re a great teacher. The course was so easy to follow and [Son] managed to produce edible meals. We’ll be seeing you again soon for sure.  Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and good luck with everything for 2022.    Until then,     - Suzanne   
   
Thank you for the certificate and indeed your great enthusiasm each week. I expect it was very difficult with everyone’s cameras off so you were not sure who was there.  We looked forward to dinner every Tuesday. You certainly composed a very tasty recipe each time and [Son] learned a lot of new techniques in cooking.    
Kind regards,  - Aileen   

Thank you from both of us Vanessa.   [Daughter] really enjoyed the course and did it all herself as I was working!!!       
Have a wonderful Christmas.    - Sarah
