Keep the kids busy and make the holidays just a little more delicious.
So there’s plenty of time to try new skills – with lots of fun and lots of yummy things to eat! We’ll focus on essential cooking skills like dough making, and 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.
This activity will help to build their confidence, encourage them to experiment with different foods, encourage team work and help to develop their coordination and dexterity skills.
Looking for an unusual and fabulously fun birthday party idea? Our Children’s Chocolate Party lets everyone get stuck into our high quality chocolate and experience the magic of creating their very own decorated delights.
Because cooking a meal together, brightens the soul & brings people together.
The workshops will be themed/seasonal for fun and choice.
Treat your little angels to our lovely kid’s class
