Looking to plan an unforgettable birthday or special celebration? This small-group experience can be designed with you for a personalised cooking masterclass in a relaxed and welcoming kitchen setting.

Celebrate with your favourite people & cook a proper delicious meal too

If you’ve got a special celebration to plan in Edinburgh, a private cooking class at The Wee Kitchen is a brilliant way to bring everyone together.

We love welcoming multi-generational groups, so whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, a special anniversary or getting the whole family together for a reunion, there’s something for everyone across our choice of cuisines.

 It’s relaxed, hands-on and, most importantly, everyone gets to sit down and enjoy a great meal together at the end.

Choose the cuisine that suits your group best and make the occasion your own. Whether you’re a group of keen cooks or complete beginners, the focus is on having fun, cooking something delicious and spending proper time together.

You'll make...

Lebanese, Korean, Greek, Traditional Scottish, Sri Lankan and more

During your masterclass we’ll cook a sit-down multi dish meal, based on whichever menu you choose. From street food to curries and Japanese bar snacks, you’ll master new techniques and learn a dish to impress with at home.

Every cooking class is a hands-on experience, we can tailor the class to be more or less hands on depending on what your group would prefer

Choose from 9 different cuisines and pick the one that suits your group best: Japanese, Sri Lankan, Greek, Scottish Lebanese, Spanish, Korean, Chinese or Indian.

What's included...

For friends, food lovers, parties, celebrations, reunions

Private classes can be totally tailored based on your group’s likes and dislikes. From dietary requirements to ‘I actually can’t stand beetroot’, we can adapt our classes to suit your needs.
