Are you looking for an unusual and fun addition to a Hen weekend? This summer we held our first Cookery Demonstration in Organico Cafe, for a Hen Party from Cork. We were nervous, it being our first time, but they said it made their weekend so we are excited now about offering further events!

We greeted the ladies (who all looked gorgeous!) at ten with coffee and mini scones. We had closed the Cafe until 11.30 so they had a nice private space. We had set out a long row of tables so they all had a good view and could see Rachel demonstrating. Our Hen's sister had told us she loved deserts, so we started with with hand made truffles - so easy when you know how, but seriously impressive to your guests! Rachel then showed a no bake cheese cake and a vegan chocolate mouse...a good talking point at any dinner party as no one could guess it was dairy-free!

Rachel then demonstrated some savoury dips: feta and herb, Green Goddess Dressing and a quick and easy butterbean hummus. All easy but all delicious.

Next our guests enjoyed a fresh organic juice cocktail and a rummage around the shop, before coming back up for a 3 course lunch. We served a taster plate with the 3 dips we had made, a fresh salad and some toasted sourdough spelt, then a choice of tartlets (Buffalo mozzerella from Toonsbridge Dairy or grilled crumbly goats cheese) along with a selection of our delicious salads. We then served a trio of deserts and coffee. The deserts included the 2 we made earlier with a little something extra as a surprise...

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting this Hen party, so if you or your friends would like to have an event like it in Organico Cafe please do give us a call and we will see if we can accommodate you.
