Edinburgh: Schotse kookles + diner

Join local host Nell in her 200-year-old home in Edinburgh's Georgian New Town for a traditional Scottish cooking class and dinner. Begin with an introduction to Scottish cooking while tasting homemade cheese oatcakes with rhubarb and ginger gin liqueur. Learn to cook Cullen Skink, a traditional Scottish soup made with smoked haddock, leeks, potato, and cream. Prepare your own all-butter Scottish shortbread to take home. Relax in the sitting room with a plate of haggis, meat or vegetarian, served with mashed potatoes and turnip. Taste a dram of whisky while the host recites Robert Burns' poem, Ode to a Haggis, as a tribute to the national dish.
