D4 Hotels hosted a summer cookery demonstration event with TV3 Chef Andrew Rudd in the Ballsbridge Court Hotel a few nights ago. Enlightening and fun, the cookery demonstration evening, titled 'Take the fear out of Cooking - with a Summer Twist' was suitable for anyone who enjoys food and cookery.
Over the course of the evening Andrew taught guests how best to manage their time in the kitchen, how to select the best ingredients, organise their kitchen and choose the best equipment and utensils.
John Healy (RTE's The Restaurant) and Nick Munier (ITV's Hell's Kitchen) were among the judges that decided the winner in a 'Ready Steady Cook' style challenge pitting rugby pundit Brent Pope against rugby star Malcolm O'Kelly. At the event there was a food village, wine tastings, and a host of other exciting stalls. The evening was hosted by Alan Hughes of TV3.
D4 Hotels offers state of the art event, meeting and conference facilities in Ballsbridge including complimentary Wi-Fi. They are superbly located just 15 minutes from the city centre and their popularity with locals, who frequent its bars, coffee shops and restaurants in south Dublin, enables guests to experience the warmth and vitality that is synonymous with Dublin.
Indeed some very happy guests this week were the infamous Plano 3 who were looked after and treated like kings by the D4 group.
