Meet the Business Owner
Edwina S.
Business Owner
Edwina spent much of her childhood in the warmth of the kitchens of Howth Castle under the feet of her Mother and Grandmother’s cooks. When one of these formidable cooks retired, Edwina then aged 15 began to cook in earnest and so started a life long love for food and cooking.
Her technical skills and food knowledge were gained at the Cordon Bleu School and after graduating she began her 25 year career in the restaurant business. In the early eighties she worked for Justin de Blank an influential figure of that time in London’s burgeoning food scene. A head cook by the age of 22, Edwina learnt her culinary skills alongside Nigel Slater, now a successful food writer, and developed her cooking style of producing simple delicious food made from quality ingredients.
Edwina thoroughly enjoys sharing both the charm of the Castle’s kitchens and the joys of cooking great food with The Kitchen in The Castle’s clients and particularly loves teaching younger people and beginners about food.
