Traditional Scottish Cooking Class in Edinburgh

A hands-on cooking class in Leith, where participants prepare traditional Scottish dishes in a small group and then share the meal they have made. It introduces Scottish food through practical work rather than demonstration.

This workshop introduces Scottish food through practical cooking rather than watching a demonstration. Participants prepare traditional dishes themselves and learn basic techniques while working with classic Scottish ingredients, including smoked haddock, local dairy and shortbread dough.

The session takes place in a small group in Leith, in the north of Edinburgh. Alongside the cooking, there is a curated tasting of Scottish cheeses. At the end, participants sit down together to eat the meal they have prepared.

The emphasis falls on taking part and on conversation around the table, which makes the class suited to anyone curious about Scottish cooking who would rather cook than observe, including visitors who want a hands-on way into the country's food.
