VIEW AND BOOK
If you can eat it, we can teach it.
The Penninghame Cooking School, is a destination school, located in the beautifully restored stables at at Penninghame Estate, Dumfries and Galloway.
The focus here is on learning to cook in a relaxed intimate setting using the freshest, local seasonal ingredients.
We will teach you the basics and inspire you with the confidence and more importantly the skills to cook for yourself, your friends and families. Our approach to food is simple, modern and imaginative. We love sharing our ideas for delicious food and are constantly finding fresh sources of inspiration to bring to our classes.
As in our restaurant, we use seasonal, local or homegrown produce wherever we can. In fact, our cookery school overlooks our vegetable garden, where you might even pick your own ingredients.
Our vision is to provide a relaxing fun environment where individuals, friends families or work colleagues can enjoy a great day cooking together and then enjoy the fruits of their labour in the dining room or in the courtyard enjoying the late evening sunshine.
Â
We keep our class sizes small, to give everyone plenty of one-on-one time and hands-on advice. We do all of the prep work in advance, so you’re free to focus on the cooking. We’ll give you course notes and recipes to take home with you, but we also encourage you to ask questions and make your own notes.
All courses here at Penninghame cooking school are a mixture of demonstration and hands on cooking. The course starts with a demonstration and then it is over to you to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. You will receive a recipes pack for you to take home to add to your repertoire so you can keep on cooking them time and time again.
We will also send you a PDF copy of the recipes. Wine, beer and cider are available to purchase to enjoy with your finished meal or to tipple while cooking!
