Celebrating a special occasion? 

I was born and bred in Dublin and absolutely love my city. I have worked for many years in the hospitality and catering sector and I am also a Qualified National Tour Guide. I am so lucky to work in The Little Museum of Dublin as a tour guide and until Covid restricted us all, I was hosting a social dining Experience in my home. It was such fun and I loved welcoming my guests, to enjoy Irish hospitality and cook and dine with new friends. We have been in our third lockdown since Christmas but I've been keeping myself busy, cooking for friends and neighbours at the weekends, I am doing an online history and guiding course and I have been writing a blog on the history of Dublin pubs. Unfortunately the pubs have been closed for over a year now so it is very sad for the publicans and staff and also for their customers. Hopefully life will return to the way it was and we will be able to welcome our visitors to Ireland again.
I have worked in the Catering and Hospitality Sector for more years than I care to count and I am also a qualified national tour guide of Ireland. In my spare time I love to cook and I also cycle on a tandem with my husband.
Food of all styles and I do enjoy a glass of good wine to accompany it. I also love a nice dessert wine and wherever I travel I have to try the local specialities.

Definitely one of the best highlights from my trip to Dublin! I travelled to Dublin alone and attended this dinner on my first night there and felt welcomed right away! The dinner was fantastic, we laughed, and we shared memories! Ann was a fantastic host and even gave us some tips for our travels! I highly recommend!!!

Our evening with Ann was absolutely lovely. There were only two of us registered that evening so rather than cancelling, she invited 3 of her girlfriends over to make it a girls’ night. Everyone was so nice and it was a pleasure to meet Ann’s friends and gain their perspective on Irish life and culture. The food was delicious and my glass was never empty. Ann is an expert host and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience to friends. Thank you, Ann!

What a wonderful way to spend a evening. Actually.. one evening really isn’t enough: Ann is a wonderful host, a fountain of knowledge on Irish culture, food and Dublin. The ‘Craic’ was definitely in this evening : great food (made under the expert eye of Ann), great stories and a wonderful way of meeting other people. A must do when you’re visiting Dublin!

I had such a great experience cooking with Ann. I say "cooking" and I laugh because I connected so much to everyone in the class, including Ann, that we had a hard time starting to actually cook because we were pre-occupied with hilarious conversation over a never ending stream of wine. When we finally got to the cooking, it was just as fun as the conversations and everything tasted great. I got to take some of the soda bread home and ate it all as a midnight snack. I would definitely come back to Ann's lovely home and take the class again. The couple I met at the class ended up being my travel buddies for the last day of my trip. Lovely all around.
