One Week Intermediate Cookery Course

On this practical intermediate cookery course at the Edinburgh New Town Cookery School we concentrate on the more advanced cookery skills and  techniques. The day starts at 9.30 am every day when we run through the recipes that will be covered. After a morning's cooking we stop for lunch when you can eat the dishes you cooked in the morning. After lunch, the day proceeds with more cooking and demonstrations. All the food you cook and haven't eaten for lunch, is yours to take home with you.

This course is particularly designed for those who can cook but who feel that they are not confident enough in their skills to take it on to the next stage. By the end of the week you will be cooking delicious meals with renewed confidence.

This course can be taken in conjunction with the beginners one week cookery course which takes place in the preceeding week, or it can be taken as a week on its own. If you live outside Edinburgh, please contact us if you would like help with accomodation.
