In this class, you will be guided through the beautiful onsite Kitchen Garden at RBGE by one of their garden experts to discover what’s in season, tips for growing locally, and how to be more sustainable in your home.
This will be followed by an in depth two-hour demonstration of autumnal cooking, utilising the season’s wonderful diversity of crops and highlighting the benefits of eating fresh. Led by one of our brilliant chefs, you’ll learn how to make the most of the deliciousness grown in your garden.
A full buffet lunch will be included in this class.
This behind-the-scenes tour, demonstration and lunch will take place at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. This collaboration is delivered with expert gardeners from RBGE and chefs from EFDA.

We do everything we can to reduce the risk of cross contamination, however we cannot guarantee a completely allergen free environment and therefore the event kitchens may be unsuitable for attendees with severe or life-threatening allergies.

“The cook school put me in touch with Castle Terrace, a good portion of my career was spent there… it’s great the connections you can make on the back of a course at the cook school.”
“The cookery school gave me the skills, knowledge and confidence to be able to see it through and make a living out of doing something I’ve always loved”
“…what really stood out to me was its reputation for high-level training in a supportive environment… The technical knowledge, attention to detail, and efficiency I have learned have all shaped how I think about food, whether I’m cooking myself or talking about it in my work.”
We understand the significance of this decision, and are always happy to arrange a call or tour with our Head Teacher for anyone with interest in our Professional Course Programme.
