Recent reviews of Scottish Mezze Cooking Workshop
- 4/5 from Annabel Kerr, attended Jul 2026: Very relaxed, friendly class. And delicious to eat all our dishes at the end!
- 5/5 from Victoria Ayre, attended Apr 2026: What a knowledgeable chef. He was fantastic. He readily conveyed his love of food and cooking and taught us much more than was advertised. The class was definitely undersold! It advertised learning 4 or 5 dishes but we made at least 10 and covered many techniques and idea. It was all delicious. What a great day. I loved it. Thanks so much.
- 5/5 from Irene Whalen, attended Mar 2026: Really enjoyed the experience and was amazed at how many dishes were created. Would definitely recommend.
- 4/5 from Robert Brand, attended Mar 2026: This was the first time using this work shop. The idea is great, the chef was very polite and very informative. When I looked at the online work shops, I was thinking with the name scottish mezze that it would have more scottish influences. But it was mostly Mediterranean, but it was nice surprise learning about other dishes to cook.. I would have liked the description of the work shop to be a little more clearer. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in this type of cooking
- 5/5 from David Isaacs, attended Jan 2026: Carlos was absolutely fabulous and his assistant Rosie was too. Wide variety of food. I particularly loved the falafel; possibly the best I’ve ever tasted. Throughly enjoyed the class and planning to do more classes soon. Well worth the money.
- 5/5 from Gillian Minshull, attended Oct 2025: This was a birthday gift from family, went with my daughters and what a great experience! Show lots of tips and great recipes - crackers, cottage cheese, tabuleh, steak, best salsa verde and bread rolls and more. Good set up and nice to meet other people. Chef really knew his stuff.
- 5/5 from Patricia Baillie Strong, attended Oct 2025: Chef Carlo started by telling us a little bit about the aims of Edinburgh Food Social. There were eight of us in the workshop including a young girl and a vegetarian. He happily catered for everyone, making a large amount of dishes with everyone involved in the preparation. He gave us plenty of tips and nothing at all was wasted, even baking tomato skins to make into tomato powder for decorating dishes. We finished off by eating the fruits of our labours, delicious!
