Baking scones at Kate's Place is Bucket List fun! - I highly recommend Kate's Place cooking classes. Kate is a warm and welcoming host and cooking companion. We made scones and brown bread. Enjoying tea and the scones fresh from the oven was a delight. Learning an Irish tradition from a local like Kate was a treat. She is a gem!

Kate's. Kitchen was a great time - It was a wonderful time baking with my son at Kate's! She is a great teacher and charming. The lesson yielded yummy bread, scones and tea. We had a great, personal Irish visit with her in her kitchen and home I would definitely return.

Definite recommendation! - This was so much fun! Kate has a way to make it so easy and approachable, I lost all apprehension when it comes to making scones now. They were absolutely delicious, as was the bread. She also picked me up from the bus station and made everyone feel right at home in her lovely home. Definite recommendation!

Such a wonderful family experience!!! Baking in an actual Irish kitchen! - This was an absolute highlight of our trip!!! Kate was amazing and so welcoming! I love to learn to make something from our travels and now this will be what brings us back to Ireland in every bite (from our kitchen in Nebraska)! We bonded as a family and Kate, John and Coco are now a part of our family! In her kitchen we laughed, learned and baked! Can't thank them enough for this experience and all the love they showed us!!!

Lovely experience - My sister and I had a lovely afternoon with Kate! We liked that she gave us flavor options to choose from. The scones and bread were delicious, and we enjoyed snacking on them the rest of our trip. The visit and conversation was great as well. Thanks for the restaurant recommendation too!
