Joe Kelly

Joe is orginally from Co Fermanagh,                      

holds a degree in culinary arts from the United

States and has been a professional chef for

over fifteen years. In the 1990's he was part of

a group of chefs from Miami, Florida that are

credited with developing "Floribbean Cuisine"

which is a fusion of Caribbean and New World

Cuisine. From there he moved to San Francisco and continued to broaden his culinary focus by

working with the world famous Boudin Sourdough Bakery as a

concept developer and chef training manager. After spending years

opening and managing restaurants for others he opened his own restaurant in South Florida called Dragonfly Cafe, specializing in "Organic Global Cuisine". Three back to back hurricanes and the desire to get back to his roots convinced Joe to return to Fermanagh in 2005. In addition to teaching here at Belle Isle, Joe is a published cookbook author, a consultant for the food & catering industry and a budding organic vegetable grower.
