Hi guys!
It was my birthday last week and one of my presents was tickets to see Donal Skehan on his Homecooked Tour. For those of you who don't know who he is, he is an amazing chef from Ireland and he is self taught! I think that's incredible. I have wanted to meet Donal for a while now so I was so excited for the night.

It was on last Saturday night and it was so much better than I had expected. Donal is exactly the same as he is on the tv on his show Kitchen Hero. He is hilarious and he got the audience so involved in what he was doing. It was a small venue so it was more cosy. Donal cooked five dishes which were Pad Thai, Fish Tacos, Tiramisu, Brioche French Toast with berries and Nutella and Cheesy Ham Hock Spinach Crepes. I think my favourite would have to be the Brioche French Toast with Berries and Nutella! Donal also got the audience involved in the show as he did an egg whisking contest and a pancake flipping competition. Donal nearly choked us all when he was cooking the Pad Thai as all the spices and things in were so strong.

After the show, there was a meet and greet with Donal. I went near the end because I needed Donal to do me a favour. When it was my turn, Donal asked me if I enjoyed the show and general chit chat while he signed my cookbook. He was so sweet and nice. I had asked him earlier that day if he would sign a noticeboard for me for a company we set up in school. He agreed and he delivered! I spent about 10 minutes with him which was incredible.
