This is a fun activity in Edinburgh

Take your tastebuds on a journey where Scotland meets the Mediterranean in this vibrant, hands-on cookery class. Inspired by the generous tradition of mezze—colourful small plates designed for sharing—you’ll create a relaxed, flavour-packed spread that’s perfect for entertaining or elevating everyday meals.

You’ll transform local vegetables, fish and dairy into a modern mezze feast full of bold flavours, fresh herbs and contrasting textures.

On the menu, you’ll make dishes such as:
- Beetroot hummus with toasted oat dukkah
- Smoked mackerel pâté with lemon and horseradish
- Seared steak with gremolata & crispy onions
- Roasted carrots with yoghurt and pickled chilli
- Barley tabbouleh with garden herbs and greens
- Fresh, homemade ricotta

Along the way, you’ll build confidence in balancing flavours, using spices and citrus to lift dishes, layering textures, and plating food beautifully for sharing.

This class is perfect for curious home cooks who want to bring more creativity and seasonality into their kitchen. Come hungry, cook together, and leave with a collection of flexible recipes that celebrate Scotland’s produce through a Mediterranean lens.

What a knowledgeable chef. He was fantastic. He readily conveyed his love of food and cooking and taught us much more than was advertised. The class was definitely undersold! It advertised learning 4 or 5 dishes but we made at least 10 and covered many techniques and idea. It was all delicious. What a great day. I loved it. Thanks so much.

This was the first time using this work shop. The idea is great , the chef was very polite and very informative. When I looked at the online work shops ,I was thinking with the name scottish mezze that it would have more scottish influences. But it was mostly Mediterranean, but it was nice surprise learning about other dishes to cook.. I would have liked the description of the work shop to be a little more clearer. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in this type of cooking

Carlos was absolutely fabulous and his assistant Rosie was too. Wide variety of food. I particularly loved the falafel; possibly the best I’ve ever tasted. Throughly enjoyed the class and planning to do more classes soon. Well worth the money.

Chef Carlo started by telling us a little bit about the aims of Edinburgh Food Social. There were eight of us in the workshop including a young girl and a vegetarian. He happily catered for everyone, making a large amount of dishes with everyone involved in the preparation. He gave us plenty of tips and nothing at all was wasted, even baking tomato skins to make into tomato powder for decorating dishes. We finished off by eating the fruits of our labours, delicious!
