Co-owner of The Gourmet Parlour in Bridge Street Sligo and Collooney, Annette Burke found her true calling when a chance conversation with friends introduced her to Ballymaloe. That was more than 30 years ago but her enthusiasm and love for baking and hospitality hasn’t dimmed at all. A Sligo native, Annette was brought up in a household where home cooking was valued. Her mother was a prizewinning home baker and instilled a love of cooking and respect for good ingredients in the young Annette. Although Home Economics was her favourite subject in school, she pursued an office-based career at first, studying office skills at Sligo IT. She began working with McMorrow Auctioneers and the Irish Nationwide Building Society in Sligo, which soon brought her to the bright lights of Dublin City, where she enjoyed all the city had to offer.
