Residents of Kilcoole Lodge nursing home are flavour of the month after contributing to a new recipe book backed by celebrity chef Darina Allen.
Cecily, 88, and Hazel, 87, both residents of Kilcoole Lodge Nursing Home, are among the star chefs of the Nursing Home Bake Off publication created by Mowlam Healthcare.
The idea to gather a collection of residents favourite recipes was inspired by the trailblazing baking skills of a 91-year-old woman who lives in Ennis Nursing Home, Co Clare.
Ardent hurling fan and Liverpool FC supporter, Cissie Collins, bakes scones and apple cakes for fellow residents during baking demonstrations she hosts every Wednesday.
This was part of a tour of nursing homes by the singer.
He sang Christmas songs for the staff and residents of care homes. The work the staff and carers do is just overwhelming, said Paul. Thank you for having me.
Residents presented Paul with a wreath which they had made for him. He was welcomed to Kilcoole Lodge by director of nursing Patricia McCoy.
Paul Byrom is considered by many to be one of Ireland s finest crossover tenors. Starting in the business at a very young age, the Dublin-born singer has been in the music industry for over 25 years. He loves performing in a wide range of productions, from operas to oratorio to recitals and in particular, musical theatre.
