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!
Perfect for families with children aged 6+ (all children must be accompanied by an adult).
Come hungry, leave inspired, and take home new skills to keep the cooking going all summer long.

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
