Discover the heart of Irish baking with the Westport Baking and Irish Food Heritage Experience in Mayo, Ireland. This hands-on activity invites you to step into the welcoming company of Mary, a Failte Ireland Tour Guide, and Carmel, a former Home Economics teacher, for an authentic culinary adventure.
Begin your journey as Mary shares the fascinating origins of traditional Irish soda bread. With Carmel’s expert guidance, you’ll roll up your sleeves to bake classic white soda scones from scratch—no previous baking experience required. The experience is interactive and enjoyable, perfect for individuals, friends, or families.
Next, everyone gets a chance to use a modern-day churn to make fresh butter, with Mary revealing the folklore and rituals that surround Irish butter making. As your scones bake, Carmel will teach you how to create wholesome brown soda bread, continuing the immersion in Ireland’s rich food heritage.
When the scones are ready, gather for tea, sample your warm treats with creamy butter and homemade jam, and enjoy the friendly company of fellow participants. Savor a complimentary Irish Coffee and receive a certificate as a proud memento of your baking skills.
At the end of the session, take home your freshly baked brown soda bread and scones in a charming tote bag. Located conveniently in Westport, this experience lasts around two hours and is a must for food lovers visiting Ireland. Book your spot today and taste the best of Irish tradition firsthand!
