Join Edinburgh host Nell to experience Edinburgh like a true local. This food tour focuses on the best of Scottish food sourced from independent suppliers taking in the magnificent UNESCO Georgian New Town, (the largest Georgian city in the world) and vibrant Stockbridge village. Feast on smoked salmon, warm scones, jam and freshly whipped cream, fantastic Scottish cheeses, whisky, meat or veggie haggis and a surprising sweet fusion of an American and Scottish romance at The Kilted Donut. 

This lunchtime/afternoon food tour is a lovely way to access some of the best of Scottish food in a beautiful part of Edinburgh that is not really on the tourist trail and is a great complement to The Old Town.

Stroll through the elegant streets of 18th and 19th century Edinburgh with an experienced local guide and sample traditional, locally-sourced Scottish food while chatting with the people who made it.

Cook and Eat like an Edinburgh local 

I love food, I love eating and I love taking guests on my unique food walking tours which are only a ten-minute walk from the main drag - but well off the tourist beaten track. I was born and grew up in Edinburgh, then lived and worked in London and Hong Kong for 15 years.  On my return to Scotland I made a TV series called The Woman Who Ate Scotland - check out on Youtube - and qualified as a nutritionist and wrote a cookbook called Eat Well. I spent three months at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, refining my cooking skills, ran two cafes in Edinburgh and now love doing my walking tours and cookery classes. 

I live in a 200-year old flat in the heart of the Georgian New Town. I love cooking at home and lots of guests on my food tours are keen to try traditional good quality Scottish food, especially haggis - which I think is delicious! So I have created a typical Scottish meal which you can learn to cook at home: Cullen Skink - smoked haddock soup with homemade oatcakes, then haggis, potatoes and turnip with a bit of poetry from Burns thrown into the mix ( I buy the haggis from my local butcher, you won't be making it; no one makes haggis at home!) Then we'll finish with shortbread which you have made yourself and there will be enough for you to take home. We'll cook in my stone-flagged kitchen then eat in my sunny sitting room.
