The Ballymaloe Cookery School last year recorded post-tax profits of €93,670.
The Co Cork cookery school business returned to profit after Covid-19 enforced closures resulted in it recording post-tax losses of €193,097 in 2020.
The recovery has continued this year with company director Toby Allen confirming that all places for the school’s flagship 12-week certificate course are sold out.
The school — majority owned by Darina Allen — stages such courses a year and a place costs a student €13,195.
