Did you know? We also have some spaces on our vegan evening course available to book individually. There’s vegan baking on 15th Jan, protein-packed mains on 22nd Jan and vegan dinner party cooking on 29th Jan. Each evening is priced at £95. Find out more here.

This beginners' workshop will equip you with a range of cooking techniques and recipes to ensure that your plant-based diet is varied and full of delicious flavours. 

After a day in the Leiths kitchens, cooking with one of our expert chefs, you will have a broader knowledge of how to adjust classic recipes that usually contain animal products, without compromising on taste. Students will cook a menu designed to cover a range of skills that can be used in everyday life, as well as for dinner parties and entertaining. 

Your lunch will be made up of the food you've prepared throughout the class and there will be plenty to take home with you too. Served with vegan wines in our airy kitchens, it's the perfect way to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Class structure

Cooking with your classmates is an integral part of your Leiths experience. You will cook some of your recipes in pairs, and some independently – whatever the ratio, there is always more than enough food, and often food to take home too (foil containers and bags provided). 

Your day will comprise of a mixture of hands on cookery and demonstrations performed by the chef who is running the session. The exact format will vary from class to class depending on the style of cuisine and, in the case of visiting chefs, their individual teaching style.

Unless otherwise stated, you will be eating the food that you have cooked during your class for lunch, usually with wine or elderflower cordial around a communal table. If your class does not involve cooking lunch you will enjoy delicious sharing platters prepared by the school.
