EXCLUSIVE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
We believe in the power of food to connect people, nourish communities, and create lasting memories. We started this journey with a passion for sustainable, creative cooking that brings people together and makes a positive social impact. Housed in a beautifully converted state-of-the-art facility Richard and Sophia Yarrow offer a dynamic space where guests can immerse themselves in the art of cookery.
The Yarrow Cookery School is a proud member of Tourism Cares and now features on their Meaningful Travel Map, (please click logo to view) As a fossil fuel free space that was able to expand due its inclusion in the East Lothian net zero pilot scheme, the school offers a greener approach to tourist experiences. The Yarrow Cookery School continues to offer free spaces on all kids' and teens' courses for lower-income households which supports and benefits all aspects of a child's development and ability to thrive whilst also having a wider impact on the local community.
EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Cookery classes celebrate Scottish produce and can be easily tailored to meet unique wishes. Each session provides the joy of hands-on cooking, where guests craft every dish from scratch.
