The Leiths course has been specifically designed to teach the basic skills necessary to become a confident, capable and efficient cook. The dishes are interesting with an increasing degree of skill required providing a balance between classical methods and modern recipes. The course spans five terms starting in the L6 and finishing at the end of the U6 spring term. The autumn term in the U6 culminates in girls baking a traditional Christmas fruit cake and are shown decorating techniques by a professional cake decorator. Along with all of these wonderful cooking skills, the course teaches neat presentation, efficient kitchen method and correct food hygiene. One of the lessons focuses on wine tasting and how to pair it with food and is conducted by a wine specialist from Leiths.
