Catherine Fulvio (née Byrne) is an Irish TV chef, food writer, author, and proprietor of Ballyknocken House & Cookery School.

Early life[]

Fulvio was born and raised at Ballyknocken House, in the village of Glenealy, Co Wicklow. Fulvio is the second eldest of 4 children, along with brothers Paul and Karl, and sister Eithne. She and her siblings were raised on the farm at Ballyknocken where they regularly helped with the daily farm work. Fulvio puts her love of food down to her upbringing on the farm and around the production of food.

Career[]

Since 2004, Fulvio has been the main proprietor of Ballyknocken House Bed & Breakfast, which she later extended to include Ballyknocken Cookery School. She has since gone on to host regular cooking classes in the school, as well as hosting fund-raising cookery events drawing crowds of up to 600. Fulvio is also a well-known TV personality in Ireland, the UK, and the US, and has authored multiple cooking and recipe books.

TV work[]

Fulvio has hosted and featured on a number of cookery-related TV shows, both in Ireland and abroad. Most notably, she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy award for Outstanding Culinary Host,[1] for her US TV series “A Taste of Ireland” on Recipe TV.[2] (CITATION). Fulvio has also featured or hosted a number of other TV shows including: Lords & Ladles[3] – originally on RTÉ, now also streaming in other territories on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Tastes Like Home[4] - RTÉ Saturday Kitchen [5]- BBC A Taste of Success[6] - RTÉ Player Catherine Celebrates[7] - RTÉ Catherine’s Italian Kitchen[8] – RTÉ Catherine’s Roman Holiday[9] – RTÉ Catherine’s Family Kitchen[10] – RTÉ The Today Show[11] - NBC[12] The Best Christmas Food Ever[13] – BBC iPlayer[14]

Ballyknocken[]

After the death of her mother, Fulvio took over the management of the Ballyknocken House Bed & Breakfast,[15] a 4-star Victorian-style guesthouse located 47 km from Dublin in County Wicklow. Customers would often ask her how she made various dishes for the BNB meals, and from this, she got the idea to open a cookery school. The Ballyknocken Cookery School was opened in 2004 on the grounds of Ballyknocken House. Ballyknocken House & Cookery School remains open to this day and offers guests relaxing weekend breaks, cookery classes, and nearby access to Wicklow beauty spots such as Glendalough and Brittas Bay.[16] As a result of the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic, Ballyknocken had to temporarily close the doors of both the B&B and Cookery School. Fulvio made the most of the situation by recording all of her cookery classes and making them available as online cooking classes through her website.

Writing[]

As of 2021, Fulvio has authored six cookery books, covering a wide range of meals and cooking styles, from Italian dishes to baking recipes. Fulvio is also a weekly food columnist for the RTÉ Guide, wherein she shares weekly recipes.
