There’s nothing quite like cooking with seasonal Scottish ingredients at the height of summer, and in this hands-on class we’ll show you how to turn fresh produce into satisfying, flavour-packed salads and light summer dishes. You’ll work with ripe fruit, fresh herbs and in-season vegetables to create a selection of recipes that are generous, balanced and perfect for family lunches, al fresco dinners or garden gatherings.
During the class we’ll explore a variety of salad styles and techniques. You might make a chilled gazpacho with vibrant summer tomatoes, a strawberry panzanella that plays with texture and acidity, or a simple vegetarian tart that brings colour and body to the table. We’ll also talk about seasoning and dressings, how to combine ingredients so they sing together, and ways to adapt recipes depending on what you can find locally.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or you already love cooking with seasonal produce, you’ll leave with new skills, delicious salads to take home, and plenty of ideas for using Scottish summer ingredients in fresh, satisfying ways.

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
