About this event

With an Irish mother-in-law and good Irish friends Mimi is lucky to have experienced the generosity and unpretentiousness of Irish hospitality many times. Irish baking celebrates the dairy farming that has been and continues to be such a defining part of Irish life.

Couple that with the fact that no-one can visit an Irish home without being offered something delicious and homemade no matter how short the visit - there will always be something ready to share. In this demonstration class Mimi will take you on a little visit to Ireland by sharing how to make soda bread with buttermilk, a velvety smooth Guinness cake and some seaweed/sea salt oatcakes which are great with cheese or a slab of butter.

This demonstration class is limited to ten people.


About Mimi Beaven

Mimi grew up surrounded by French and English food as her parents had a restaurant in the Cotswolds, England and her grandparents and French family had restaurants in Lyon, France. After studying Agriculture, she started working front of house in restaurants and then raised two daughters with her husband Richard. After moving to the US in 2002 and then having a house in Ghent from 2005 Mimi cooked more and more. Richard and Mimi founded and built Made in Ghent at Little Ghent Farm in 2014 and operated it successfully until 2021. They had a loyal following who loved Mimi’s bread, cakes, soups and preserves along with the pork, chicken, and eggs they raised on the farm.
