How to Cook Well at Christmas with Rory O’Connell (New, two-part special)
Part 2 Monday December 23rd 2024, RTÉ One at 7pm
Rory O’Connell is back with two brand new Christmas specials in which he shares festive recipes and creative cooking tips to help make cooking over the holiday period a stress free and enjoyable experience.
Last year, Rory’s Christmas programmes attracted a combined audience of 553,000 viewers.
Rory has been teaching people how to cook for 40 years – the Ballymaloe Cookery School which Rory co-founded with his sister Darina celebrated its 40th anniversary last year.
“The ritual around eating and meals is about so much more than just the food itself”, Rory says.
” And I suppose that’s never more true, really, than at Christmas”.
“It’s the time of the year when you pull out some of those dishes that you only use once a year, and most of the preparations can be done before your guests arrive, allowing you, the cook, to enjoy the event as much as everyone else.”
Programme two: Monday December 23rd, 7pm
Rory’s first recipe in this second festive programme is Choux Pastry and Choux Rings with Smoked Trout and Almonds.
He then prepares Three Cheese Mille Feuille with Cranberries.
Rory makes a very seasonal Christmas Ice cream with Whiskey soaked Prunes, served in an ice bowl.
How To Cook Well at Christmas with Rory O’Connell is produced and directed by David Hare of InProductionTV and sponsored by Flogas
