Cook With Your Kids

£120.00

Looking for an activity to tackle the impossible task of keeping the whole family entertained during the summer holidays? Join us for a relaxed and interactive summer holiday cooking class in Edinburgh, designed for adults and children to enjoy together.

In this 2.5-hour class, families will cook side by side, learning practical kitchen skills while creating a delicious seasonal menu from scratch. Guided by our friendly chefs, and working together as a family, you’ll explore fresh, locally sourced ingredients and simple techniques that are easy to recreate at home. As well as teaching your child new skills and creating lovely memories. 

You and your child will work as a team, turning fresh, locally sourced ingredients into a seasonal feast.

This class is designed to help your child:

  • Build independence: Watch their confidence soar as they master grown-up tools like knives and graters under expert guidance.
  • Get creative: Turn picky eaters into adventurous chefs by letting them touch, smell, and prep the ingredients themselves.
  • Learn key skills: From weighing out flour to the fine motor skills of chopping, the kitchen is the best classroom.
  • Spend quality time with their family: This is dedicated time to chat, laugh, and create a memory that lasts long after the dishes are washed.

Expect plenty of mixing, chopping, tasting, and teamwork as you prepare a selection of summery dishes — think vibrant flavours, colourful plates, and recipes everyone will love. Along the way, we’ll share tips on reducing food waste, making the most of seasonal produce, and building confidence in the kitchen.

The session finishes with everyone sitting down together to enjoy the food you’ve made!
