What To Expect

I am located 30 minutes from Belfast in a thatched cottage on the shores of beautiful Strangford Lough. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The traditional Irish bread making experience takes place in my farmhouse kitchen. My home can be accessed by public transport or you can travel by car. Start time is usually 11am and we would normally finish around 1.30pm. You will arrive to my homemade Soda Fruit Bannock as it comes out of the oven. This will be served with tea and coffee. Then it's times to roll up your sleeves and get floury! We won't weigh or measure anything - these Northern Irish Breads will be made in the traditional way! All breads will be made on your Griddle and will be cooked within 10 - 15 minutes! You'll make Soda bread, Wheaten bread and Potato bread. You will also enjoy a demo of my Soda Focaccia bread. You'll have worked up an appetite and Tracey will have set the tables with her fine bone China. You'll enjoy freshly made warm breads along with some of Tracey's homemade treats. You'll take away a big bag full of your homemade breads and you'll receive a copy of the recipes for everything that you have tasted and made in the session.

Wonderful experience making wheaten bread ourselves with instruction and watching Tracey make a soda bannock and homemade butter and Eileen demonstrating how to make Blackcurrant and plum jam. Very friendly and great fun and company in the group of 10. Lots of tea and coffee and apple crumble to finish. Got to take our wheaten bread and jams home with. Definitely recommend this great and very beneficial experience
Harvest jam class will not only warm your taste buds but all your senses including your heart 💓

This is my second class with Mrs. Tracy.. I was able to attend her harvest jam making class. We also made a coarse wheat bread that day. It's such a beautiful location and Mrs. Tracy is such a lovely host. I hope to be able to do it again next time I'm in Belfast .

We had a fantastic time with Tracey. She prepared, not only the wonderful soda bread making experience but traditional tea to go with it and we had a yummy lunch as well. Her home, kitchen yard and farm are beautiful. I will definitely be going back and taking more friends.

If it's a family, a group of friends or a business group. This is a great visit and experience just 40 minutes drive from Belfast city centre. Situated on the western shore of Strangford Lough, in an traditional farmhouse, Teacey and her husband will welcome you. You can prepare your own lunch with fresh ingredients from the garden. Or you can learn how to make the most delicious local breads. For families, accommodation is available. It's a great experience, not just for international visitors, but also for locals. You will get the warmest Ulster Welcome and taste the nicest foods and breads. Unforgettable
Baking fun
