    Review of: Edinburgh Food Safari - Cooking Class
    Nell was the best! Super friendly, easy to talk to and an amazing host/food expert! She knows her way around the kitchen and the history of Scotland.

  • Very amazing experience!
    Nell was such a blast to cook with. She welcomed our family into her beautiful home with a personalized welcome sign. We then sat and had a welcome drink and snack. Then it was off to the kitchen to cook. Nell prepared all the ingredients so we could focus on the fun part. We learned about the history of the ingredients and the dishes. And finally, we got to sit down to the foods we made. Such a treat.
