Edinburgh Food and Drink Academy: Empowering Culinary Careers
The Edinburgh Food and Drink Academy, formerly known as the Edinburgh New Town Cookery School, has expanded its focus to include food and drink skills. The academy offers a comprehensive twelve-week program, starting with basics like chopping onions and progressing to advanced dishes such as cassoulet and cakes. Notable alumni include Sam Yorke, who started the Michelin-starred Heron restaurant, and Rachel from Twelve Triangles bakery. The academy aims to make food education more inclusive, helping people build confidence, connect with others, and launch careers in the growing food and drink industry. A recent skills survey shows that while many Brits feel good about everyday cooking, they struggle with prep from scratch, highlighting a national gap the academy aims to fill. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton and candidate Sanne Dijkstra Downie recently visited the academy to try making shortbread.
