BALLYSEEDY Home & Garden hosted a great charity Cookery Demo event in aid of ‘Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind (IGDB) Tralee Branch’ last Saturday.
Guests were welcomed to with delicious canapes created by Ballyseedy’s head chef, Damian Fitzpatrick, which included smoked salmon roulade with lemon dill infused cream cheese, served on pickled cucumber and serrano ham with whipped Irish goats cheese, mini spinach falafels served with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and much more.
‘Nightlife’ provided music throughout the day, while Bernie Falvey, CEO of Ballyseedy Home and Garden gave an autumn planting class, followed by the talented Ciara Morgan who cooked up a feast of vegan savoury and sweet veggie delights.

Fundraising events such as this play a hugely important role in the ongoing efforts of IGDB to help change the lives of those who are vision impaired and the families of children with autism.
The fundraising event raised over €2,000 for the charity. It is reported that to breed, train and care for a guide dog during its training and working will cost an estimated €53,000.
