Alyson Carter

Alyson Carter, the daughter of Robert Tinneny of Killahurk, Carrigallen, County Leitrem and Gladys Morehead of Cavan Town, County Cavan, Ireland recently attended and completed the prestigious Cordon Bleu Culinary School in Ottawa Canada.  

Taking the month long gourmet catering course at the culinary institute fulfilled her long time dream of formal training in gourmet food preparation and presentation.  "It was wonderful," she said.  While she was at the school in Ottawa, her husband John tended the home fires and their daughters at their home in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.  While at the Cordon Bleu, in her spare time, Alyson read the short stories of William Treavor, a distinguished Irish author.
