Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in a professional kitchen? Chef Network’s Open Kitchen Week invites aspiring chefs, students, and food lovers to step behind the pass and experience top kitchens across Cork.
Now in its third year, this nationwide initiative offers hands-on access to restaurants, hotels, bakeries, cafés, and food producers — perfect for anyone curious about a culinary career or looking to broaden their skills.
Participating Cork venues include Cork International Hotel, The Metropole Hotel, Blue Haven, Rare, Praline Pastry & Chocolate Café, and Sage Products.
Gráinne Mullins, founder of Grá Chocolates and this year’s ambassador, shares:
“Open Kitchen Week is about inspiring the next generation. We’re excited to open our doors and show what life in a kitchen is really like.”
