Creating memories through cooking and connection

Home

We believe in the power of food to connect people, nourish communities, and create lasting memories. Our journey began with a passion for sustainable, creative cooking that brings people together in a meaningful way.

 

Located in East Lothian, the Yarrow Cookery School sits in a charming 400-year-old steading, complete with free parking and EV chargers. We are in the final stages of completing our new space and are excited to announce that classes from March 2025 are now open for booking. Don't miss your chance to reserve your spot in Scotland’s most exciting cookery school!
