Hi, I’m Una and for many years I have been in the hospitality business, from coffee shops to bed & breakfasts and now in my own busy cafe, at Crann Beatha in An Culturlann, Great James Street, in the heart of Derry City.
I have inherited a lot of my recipes from my mum and my sister, (some I have tweaked!), and I love to pass them on and have fun along the way. My speciality is scones and cupcakes, I think its the artist in me that attracts me to these delightful bites.
But most of all, I just wanted to create a fun few hours for people of all ages to experience and enjoy and maybe learn a little of Irish Baking and have the Craic. Crann Beatha is a perfect space for these classes.
