IT’S that time of year when many people are watching their waistlines, so to help people on their quest for a healthier new year, a cookery demonstration took place in the Ballyroe Heights Hotel on Wednesday.
Proceeds on the night were in aid of the new Mercy Mounthawk extension fund and well-known chef and TraleeToday.ie food columnist, Mark Doe, was on hand to dispense healthy advice and delicious recipes.
“I saw Mark Doe during the summer time and I just thought it would be a nice idea at this time of year when people are going on diets to help people out,” said one of the organisers, Norah Quane.
“Hopefully people will come away with a few good tips on how to stay healthy and it’s all in aid of a good cause,” said Norah.
Along with Mark Doe, there was tips and advice from physical therapist Niamh O’Sullivan and dietician Peggy Daly.
Tickets were €10 and attendees were treated with a hot punch on arrival with spot prizes and a raffle on the night.
In December, Mercy Mounthawk, turned the sod on the €1.7 million extension development of the school.
