Kilkenny nursing home residents are flavour of the month after contributing to a new recipe book backed by celebrity chef Darina Allen.
Brid Dowling and Nancy Murphy are among the star chefs of the ‘Nursing Home Bake Off’ publication by Mowlam Healthcare, along with two other residents, Tom, 78, and Vera, all based in Archersrath Nursing Home.
The idea to gather a collection of residents’ favourite recipes was inspired by the trailblazing baking skills of a 91-year-old woman in Ennis Nursing Home, County Clare.
