If you and your loved one share a passion for food, why not incorporate this into your Valentine’s plans? Pat Whelan is running a day-long butchery class in Cloughjordan House in Co Tipperary on 15 February, where he will teach you how to choose and cook the best cuts of meat, using recipes from his new book, The Irish Beef Book. The course runs from 10am-4pm and is priced at €155. Consider it an investment, as you can rustle up what you learn for Valentine’s Days to come.
