Leiths School of Food & Wine

I had heard wonderful things about Leiths around the city, so I decided to attend one of their cooking classes. The best part about the cooking classes is that once you are done, you have… LOTS OF FOOD TO EAT! Quite easily the best part of the class is eating the delicious food that you made, but it may not be so great for the waistline.
The staff are great and friendly. Class ratios are 1 chef per 8 students, so there is lots of personal attention. All ingredients are supplied as well as take home containers for your food. Come, show up, learn a few more skills in the kitchen, and enjoy some yummy food.

I am very impressed
I took a baking course at Lieth one morning and expected to be handful of housewives attending to pass time. To my surprise the class had over 40 people of all ages and professions
And the day was so organised, starting with the theory part of baking, the tea, coffee and tasty lunch breaks
To the kitchen itself
All ingredients were ready on stations, instructors were helpful and washing up was so prompt
I remember nothing but perfection of that day and the lovely bread, cheese and jam I was given to take with me home.
If I can get myself on another cooking workshop (seems to be very hard to sign in these days all fully booked) I will be the happiest

I just attended my first day class at Leiths, who offers courses for professional accreditation as well as «enthusiasts.» The building and location were convenient and work space well laid out. The instructors, Adriana and Andrea, were phenomenal. I really appreciate how they took the time to explain technique and variations that can be applied at home. Also, the staff on hand to help with set-​up and clean-​up were amazing. They were always available to assist and contributed a great deal to the good experience. –I wish I had someone to prepare all my ingredients and wash dishes at home!
My only complaint is related to the temperamental ovens. An oven can make or break all the hard work that goes into preparing a dish. Technique and materials went out the door with uneven, inaccurate ovens.
Leiths offers such a wide variety of classes so I’ll likely sign-​up again… for a class that doesn’t require an oven.
