Join JR and the Cookery School Team online for this great live streamed Demonstration.

The world-famous Ballymaloe dessert trolley has been a tradition at Ballymaloe House since the restaurant opened in 1964. This much-anticipated, grand finale to many sumptuous meals became globally famous when it was awarded the Trolley of the Year Award at the World Restaurant Awards in 2019. 

Ballymaloe House’s pastry chef JR Ryall, head of the team that makes the cakes, puddings and ice creams that appear nightly on the trolley, has written a book to celebrate this sweet magic. Ballymaloe Desserts: Iconic Recipes and Stories from Ireland (Phaidon), with a foreword by David Tanis.
