We’ll focus on essential cooking skills like dough making, trying our hand at soft pretzels, ciabatta or pizza. We’ll create tasty pasta dishes, and rustle up delicious sweet treats like cookies and brownies.
Keep the kids busy and make the holidays just a little more delicious. Our holiday cooking camps for 9 – 12s last for the whole day (10am to 3pm), so there’s plenty of time to try new skills – with lots of fun and lots of yummy things to eat!
Strictly limited to just 12 attendees, we’ll focus on essential cooking skills like dough making, trying our hand at soft pretzels, ciabatta or pizza. We’ll create tasty pasta dishes, and rustle up delicious sweet treats like cookies and brownies.
I’m fully PVG registered with up-to-date first aid training. All classes are carefully planned to meet the needs of our younger learners.
I’m Daniela Forbes, a chef, stylist and food educator with Italian roots. I love helping people gain the skills and confidence they need to cook delicious food from scratch, in a fun, relaxed environment.
I studied at the Edinburgh School of Food and Wine, Leith’s Cookery School and the Bertinet Kitchen, as well as undertaking chocolate training with Chocolate Master Ruth Hinks of Cocoa Black. I’m fully PVG registered and hold all relevant food safety certificates. I’ve worked as head cook in various bistros and cafés, as well as running my own food education business working with clients like The Good Food Show, The Cake and Bake Show and Quality Meat Scotland, which involved creating and running workshops in secondary schools across Scotland.
Like so many people, lockdown meant I started to explore different ways of working. I hosted sourdough and pizza workshops from my home kitchen in Cramond, as well as testing my workshop ideas on my two young children (turns out cooking is a great way of homeschooling). This inspired me to launch The Cook Academy. I’m delighted to be working from St George’s School in Murrayfield – it’s right in the centre of beautiful Edinburgh, with fantastic facilities which will help me share my fun, informal and practical classes with even more people.
Cooking lessons are becoming more popular because people want to show off their new culinary skills to their family and friends. We think that’s a wonderful idea, and can’t wait to help you on your journey.
The course will provide an interactive learning experience that gives young people the opportunity to develop a life-long love for the culinary arts.
Over holidays, bring your master chefs in our kitchen to improve their culinary skills.
If you’re looking for a fun activity your kids will love, look no further! Our Children’s Cookery Adventure is here to get taste buds tingling and minds a-whizzing as we show them how to whip up some delicious treats.
The workshops will be themed/seasonal for fun and choice.
