In March of this year, she was acknowledged for her work on US TV by The Taste Awards, which are like the Oscars of food. She was inducted into their hall of fame, joining the likes of Oprah, Gwenyth Paltrow and Harry Styles. "It’s a really big deal," she says. "It’s a very big event, proper red carpet in the Screenwriters Guild of America building in Hollywood. It was so glamorous, a huge honour and something I’m very proud of."
As for the immediate future, Catherine is getting ready for her next big group, due to arrive at any moment. In the long term, she hopes the legacy of Ballykocken will continue with Charlotte and Rowan. "I think they will. One of them, if not both of them, will be back. I’ve never forced it, but like me, they grew up working in the business and I think that’s important. It’s given them a great work ethic. They understand now what hard work is and that’s vital; we’ve all been lucky to get to work in this family business," she remarks.
"The two of them will be doing their own cookery class here this summer. I’ve a calendar clash so they’ve been trained in! They’re doing a class on Irish baking, so let’s see how it goes, but they’ll be well able for it."
And so, the story, once again, goes full circle.
