Scotland Cooking Schools Classes

At Colstoun Cookery School the emphasis is on environmental sustainability and the provenance of the produce. Set in 2,000 acres of organic farmland and forest in East Lothian, with its own walled garden and energy-saving wood-chip heating network providing the hot water, Colstoun has excellent green credentials and offers day-long classes and week-long courses (with the option of accommodation on the Colstoun estate) that focus on nutritious cooking using organic ingredients, as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Edinburgh School of Food & Wine has made a habit of exceeding expectations at every level since our establishment in 1986. Not only are we the oldest cookery school in Scotland, but we are regularly voted as the best.

Operating from our home on the Newliston Estate, close to Edinburgh and easily accessible from all major Scottish cities, we cover all aspects of culinary education, as well as providing regular outside catering services for weddings and other large events.

As the youngest Scottish chef ever to hold a Michelin star, it’s safe to say Nick Nairn knows what he’s doing. You can up your chances of being able to say the same by booking yourself into Nick Nairn Cook School. Besides that all-important aforementioned star, the draw here is the scenery, with lake views afforded by its location at Port of Menteith. As well as Nick’s expertise, budding cooks can benefit from the appearance of celebrity guest stars, which in November will include an all-star line-up for a week-long residential course taught by Tony Singh, TV legend Brian Turner, Michelin-starred Michael Smith, Ondine’s Roy Brett and, of course, Nick himself.
