I took my 13 year old grandson on the wonderful seaweed walk with Oonagh. She is so knowledgable about the many seaweeds we saw and she gathered, and knows off the top of her head the rich nutritional value of each one. So passionate about using what nature gives us for free, she advised how to use each of the seaweeds, how to prepare and preserve. Even the wild things growing on the side of the road as we walked to the beach were part of her kitchen. She offered a wonderful elderberry drink for each of us that contained organic honey, lemon juice and I believe a bit of vinegar. So tasty. We brought home many of the tasty seaweeds, our favorite was the seaweed truffle. I only wish I lived close to Oonagh so I could spend more time with and get to know this wonderful woman. Park at the Barrtra Restaurant to meet, then have a wonderful lunch there afterwards if you can!

We visited the Baratra seashore with a group of adult organic students last summer led by Oonagh and sampled the wild kitchen products which was the treat of a lifetime.
The unity of sea land and wilderness is so thoughtfully captured with Oonaghs skills of identification food preperation and gentle storytelling.
A real multisensory experience.
We'll done!

Oonagh is so knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. Learners on our training programme learnt so much in a short space of time. One of the learners took home a bag of seaweed to have a bath with when she got home. Take pen and paper to make notes. At the end of the walk we dined out on dulse, dilsk, seagrass, rosehip, organic pesto and humous which she made herself with local pickings, organic salad with elderflower champagne, dilsk crisps which she made herself all hand picked from Barratra beach, a rocky shore line near Lahinch. Fantastic day with a woman who was so passionate and knowledgeable about the shoreline and hedgerows.
