A practical, professional approach will give students the skills to cook with confidence and develop the essential skills necessary to be a success in the culinary world.The academy spans five floors and offers panoramic views across the Firth of Forth. The venue has been renovated to provide a fully equipped teaching kitchen alongside a demonstration theatre, with capacity for 50 and a function room, which presents the ideal dining setting for corporate entertainment or team building. The building is also suitable for PR events and product launches. The range of facilities on offer allows the academy to host a broad spectrum of cookery courses and activities.Our teachers and staff are highly qualified and bring many years of experience to the academy.
