Scottish Mezze Cooking Workshop

Local ingredients, Mediterranean style



2.5 hours

Class size 1 to 8 (public classes), 4 to 16
  £90 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Take your tastebuds on a journey where Scotland meets the Mediterranean in this vibrant, hands-on cookery class. Inspired by the generous tradition of mezze—colourful small plates designed for sharing—you’ll create a relaxed, flavour-packed spread that’s perfect for entertaining or elevating everyday meals.
You’ll transform local vegetables, fish and dairy into a modern mezze feast full of bold flavours, fresh herbs and contrasting textures.
On the menu, you’ll make dishes such as:
  • Beetroot hummus with toasted oat dukkah
  • Smoked mackerel pâté with lemon and horseradish
  • Seared steak with gremolata & crispy onions
  • Roasted carrots with yoghurt and pickled chilli
  • Barley tabbouleh with garden herbs and greens
  • Fresh, homemade ricotta
Along the way, you’ll build confidence in balancing flavours, using spices and citrus to lift dishes, layering textures, and plating food beautifully for sharing.
This class is perfect for curious home cooks who want to bring more creativity and seasonality into their kitchen. Come hungry, cook together, and leave with a collection of flexible recipes that celebrate Scotland’s produce through a Mediterranean lens.

Edinburgh Food Socials is where great food, great people, and community come together.
We run relaxed, hands-on cooking classes led by experienced, friendly chefs who love sharing their skills in a down-to-earth, welcoming way. Whether you’re a total beginner or a confident home cook, you’ll feel supported, inspired, and well-fed.
We’re not a cookery school that takes itself too seriously — we’re a social food project built around creating confidence in the kitchen and fostering a love of food. Our classes are designed to bring people together around the table: cooking, chatting, tasting, and enjoying the experience. Come solo, bring friends, or make it a date — everyone’s welcome.
At the heart of Edinburgh Food Socials is our belief that good food should be for everyone. We want to make sure that everyone not only has access to Scotland's great produce but, crucially, knows what to do with it. That’s why we're a social enterprise and we always keep two free spaces in every class for people from our Craigmillar community who might not otherwise be able to afford to attend. When you book a class with us, you’re not just learning to cook — you’re helping make our sessions more inclusive and community-led.
We have received multiple awards, most recently for Responsible Business of the Year, Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce Business Awards 2025.
Book a class, cook with us, and discover just how delicious and fun food can be.
Are you looking for a fun new team-building event, a hen party or a birthday party? We would love to host you in our kitchen for a private class. If there are at least 4 of you, then you can request a date for a class, and when possible, we will host a class on this date and time, but it will be opened up for other people to book onto. We need at least 6 people for the class to be fully private
