Dublin Cookery School

Dublin Cookery School Evening, Day, Week, and Month-Long Cookery Courses Available | Voted Best Cookery School in Ireland

Lynda is the Director of Lynda Booth’s Dublin Cookery School (Blackrock) and is widely recognised as one of Ireland’s best cookery teachers. She set up the school in 2007 and since then it has gone from strength-to-strength, claiming the title of ‘Best Irish Cookery School’ at the 2013 & 2015 Irish Restaurant Awards. The school offers a wide range of evening and one day (Saturday) cookery classes

as well as full-time one week, one month and professional three month certificate cookery courses. Lynda has a rich and varied background, having spent a decade travelling and cooking around the world, from simple bistros to Michelin two-star restaurants. This opened up a huge number of contacts to her and Lynda continually uses these strong industry connections to attract talented guest chefs to teach at the school as well as securing ‘stage’ placements in top restaurants for her certificate students. As well as being hands-on in the day-to-day running of the school, Lynda took some time in 2013 to publish her first cookbook, ‘From Lynda’s Table’ for which she has received rave reviews. The book was shortlisted for ‘2014 Cookbook of the Year’ (Bord Gais Energy Irish Book Awards) and the finals of the 2014 World Gourmand Cookbook Awards.

Nobody checks their phone in our pasta class.

Not a rule — just what happens when your hands are covered in flour and you're immersed in sheets of dough.

That's Joe, back in May. Three hours of talking and laughing, and you go home able to make it again.

Pasta Masterclass is on Tuesday, A Taste of Italy on Saturday. Dates at the link in bio.

September's the month everyone else goes back to school. Here's ours.

You've a folder of recipes you're “going to get to”. This is a good month to stop saving them and actually cook — the Irish produce coming in now is the best it'll be all year.

Monday night is Spain: paella and tapas with José. Then One Pot One Pan on the 14th, sushi with Ken on the 15th, Keith's steaks on the 18th, knife skills on the 26th — and Become A Better Cook, five days, in October.

Swipe for the full month. Dates and booking at the link in bio.

Here's one that catches nearly everybody. When you zest a lime or a lemon, there's a point you're supposed to stop, and most of us go straight past it.

It's a small thing that makes the difference between clean citrus flavour and a faint bitterness you can't place afterwards.

José does it in one light pass. Watch where he stops.

Ireland has 18 Michelin stars. So why is the tomato in your trolley Dutch?
There's plenty of pride in Irish food at the moment — it just doesn't always make it into the basket.

But closing that gap doesn't have to mean paying more for an Irish label. It's about shopping smarter. Buy whole ingredients, ask for the cuts most people walk past, cook from scratch, and waste none of it. That's what makes a smaller, better, home-grown shop stretch further.

Our latest blog lays out how to eat local without breaking the bank — and the hands-on classes in Blackrock that teach it, from €95.

The DCS 2026 barbecue season was made all the sweeter by the introduction of our new Summer BBQ: Practical & Hands-On course. Everyone is a fire-starter 🔥 controlling flame, heat, smoke, and mastering alternating heat zones: as well as knowing when to go low and slow, when to baste, and how to reverse sear. Ever wondered how to use a dying fire? Need to know how to get your marinade on? How to nail the best approach for keeping things as juicy as possible 🥩? It’s been wonderful meeting our enthusiastic bbq’ers so far this year. Here’s to more sunny Saturdays to see the season out ☀️!

Five things in your kitchen that are more dangerous than you think.

Most of us learned to cook by watching someone else. Which means we also picked up the gaps — the habits nobody flagged, the shortcuts that became normal. The blunt knife you keep meaning to sharpen. The pan handle turned out over the hob. The handwash that didn't happen between the chicken and the phone. None of it is carelessness. It's just what wasn't taught.

We've been writing about kitchen safety — specifically for teenagers, but honestly, it applies to most of us. Full piece at the link in bio.
