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.
Our 2 day Teen Cookery Toolbox is a hands-on, fun-filled, practical cookery course for young foodies aged 12-17.
We'll be kneading dough and turning it into pizzas, whizzing up some punchy pesto and baking some Italian lemon cookies
Treat your little angels to our lovely kid’s class. The price includes one child and one adult. Stephen sets a perfect yet simple to follow menu for the kids to recreate at home to impress their family and friends. Then you can both enjoy your lovely meal together.
Our kids classes aim to engage and inspire kids from 8 through to 17. Although we do love sweet things, our main aim with our future foodies is to cook and enjoy delicious and nutritious dishes to take home to friends and family.
