Cookery Courses

Course Format

Each day begins at 10am with a short demonstration of the first dish to be prepared, followed by a ‘hands-on’ class where you will learn techniques and modern presentation, often using Scottish produce. The day continues with a mix of short demonstrations, practical cookery sessions, discussions and tastings. Then at the end of the day you get the chance to sit down and enjoy the creations you have made, accompanied by a glass of wine.

Course Content

We generally cook several different dishes, giving you ideas for starters, main courses and desserts, covering a wide variety of techniques and ingredients. This is a great way to increase both your knowledge and confidence in a relaxed environment.

If there are areas of cookery that attract you, why not give us a call and we can see whether or not we can cater for your particular area of interest? Why not get a group together and come and enjoy yourselves together.

Gift Vouchers are available if you would like to treat your partner, a parent or a friend.
