Darina Allen’s recent book ‘Grow, Cook Nourish’ is the result of a lifelong passion for growing and cooking your own produce and a desperate plea for people to change the way they eat.
Darina, founder and principal of the Ballymaloe Cookery School, fears that we have gone from being a society who shopped daily for fresh food and provisions to one that frequently stocks up on ready-made products from the supermarket. She feels strongly that we need less salt and sugar in our diets and more nutrients. Simply put, she believes strongly that we need to eat more fruit and vegetables, preferably ones grown naturally.
Come and listen to Darina at 12.30 on Sunday 25th February Ballymaloe Grainstore as part of the Ballymaloe Good Living Day she will be giving an inspirational talk on her simply philosophy on life and how with simple changes we can all Grow, Cook and Nourish. Please follow the link and book early – places are limited.
(Darina is a late addition to the Ballymaloe Good Living Day programme as she is replacing child psychologist David Carey who has had to cancel due to ill health (we would like to take this opportunity to wish David a speedy recovery)
