Ratings collected from Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor.
This experience offers a relaxed and welcoming introduction to Scottish food culture through hands-on cooking. Rather than simply watching a demonstration, guests actively prepare traditional dishes themselves, learning practical techniques and working with classic Scottish ingredients such as smoked haddock, local dairy, and buttery shortbread dough.
The class takes place in a small-group setting in Leith, one of Edinburgh’s most vibrant food neighbourhoods. Alongside cooking, guests enjoy a curated tasting of Scottish cheeses and share the meal they have created together at the end of the session. The focus is on participation, conversation, and discovering Scotland through its food in a friendly and informal atmosphere.
