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.
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.
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.
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.
This class is BYOB, so you’re very welcome to bring along drinks to enjoy during the session. We’ll sit down together at the end to enjoy the food we’ve prepared.
You’ll work together as a private group, usually in pairs, with plenty of hands-on involvement and guidance throughout.
