Marcello Tully's New Collection of Cookery Workshops & Bespoke Cookery Classes

Ever wished you could peek behind the doors of a top-flight professional kitchen and see some of the Michelin magic? Hosted by Michelin starred chef, Marcello Tully, Kinloch Lodge's new collection of cookery workshops and classes is unique, and let you do just that.

The Kinloch Cookery Collection includes hands-on Cookery Workshops where guests prepare dishes for that day's menu, alongside the brigade in the professional kitchen and Bespoke Cookery Classes that allow participants to set the agenda – whether they want to create a winning dinner party menu, learn how to deal with fish and shellfish, brush-up on their butchery skills or bake the best bread and pastry.

There's lots of tastings and chat while Marcello guides and shares tips from his enviable thirty-year culinary career including skills garnered while working with chef royalty, the Roux brothers.

Lasting two and a half hours, guests leave armed with inspiration, knowledge and confidence and at the end of the day, there's time to discuss what's been learnt with Marcello while enjoying afternoon tea or canapes and a glass of fizz by the fire in one of Kinloch's drawing rooms.

Marcello's Express Cookery Class: 45 mins

Marcello hosts an express 45-minute cookery course where you can learn how to make Kinloch's famous savoury and sweet scones (and eat them too, of course..).

While the scones are being finished off in the oven, Marcello demonstrates a quick chef's trick and the class finishes with guests sampling the scones with jam and cream.
