Self-sufficiency

As with all Dorling & Kindersley books The new complete book of Self Sufficiency, subtitled  The Classic Guide for Realists and Dreamers by John Seymour is not only highly informative, but also beautifully produced.  This new edition of an enduring classic from the founding father of modern self-sufficiency, is still the key reference to living off the land. Covering all the practicals from ploughing fields to milking cows as well as information on how to create an urban organic garden and harness natural energy, this is perfect for anyone aspiring to the self-sufficient lifestyle.

John Seymour was  committed as ever to living a better life, more simply and was acknowledged as the founding father of the self-sufficiency movement. He was an active campaigner for the countryside and the environment. Students come from around the world to learn about his lifestyle and philosophies at the School of Self-Sufficiency he established in southern Ireland. He died in 2004.

Runs cooking classes throughout the year at its purpose-built cooking studios. Classes are run in the mornings and evenings 7 days a week (subject to a minimum of 12 people). The venue is also popular for corporate events and private functions – team building cooking classes, birthdays, kitchen teas, and dinner parties with a difference.

Our classes are hands-on, where every person gets to participate in the preparation of the dishes. They are also a lot of fun where you not only learn new skills, but get to meet people with similar interests. For corporate groups and teambuilding cooking classes these events are a novel way of creating staff interaction or entertaining clients.
