Recipes from the residents of a Co Clare nursing home will be remembered in Nursing Home Bake Off, which has been backed by celebrity chef Darina Allen. It was inspired by the trailblazing skills of 91-year-old Cissie Collins in Ennis Nursing Home where she makes scones and apple cakes for fellow residents.
