Our School organise many events from masterclasses, workshops, site visits and guest lecturers which enhances our students' experience while studying our programmes at TU Dublin. It is also an opportunity for students to network with the Food and Drink Industry. Below are more details of events in our school.
Our Masterclass Demonstrations are a series of live interactive Masterclass sessions and food and beverage demonstrations which includes spirits and cocktail events and wine tastings. From sophisticated street food to modern and high end cuisine, the TU Dublin Culinary Theatre hosts some of World’s best chefs and Ireland’s top food and beverage producers. We are delighted to welcome visiting chefs and industry partners who provide a culinary demonstration for students. These demonstrations are very beneficial for our students learning and for networking with the industry and would like to thank all the visiting chefs who give these masterclasses and share their knowledge and expertise.
On 13th February our school hosted Chef Network who in partnership with Bord Bia gave a Pork Masterclass with Chef Tom Flavin and Butcher Michael Bermingham. Tom and Michael explored the versatility of pork, demonstrating the various cuts from snout to tail where students learned skills for utilizing every part of the pig.
A major word of thanks to Chef Network, Bord Bia and to Tom and Michael who shared their expertise, knowledge and culinary talent and delighted the attendees with tastings of various pork dishes.
