Cooking and Baking

Greener Kirkcaldy's Lang Spoon Community Kitchen holds classes all year round where you can learn about different cooking methods and world cuisines. 

The money we make from these classes go back into the local community through our other food projects.

Scotland is renowned for the quality of its fish and shellfish. In this workshop we will be delving in to the world of fish and shellfish cookery. We’ll show you how easy it is to prepare fresh whole fish covering gutting, descaling and filleting. Moving on Sam will talk through different cooking styles including baking, poaching, stuffing and the classic but simple ‘en papillote’ (in parchment). You will:<ul><li>Prepare and cook a whole fish and choose your own cooking style. </li><li>Have a go at ‘shucking’ an oyster and taste it. We’ll also cover how to cook mussels. </li><li>Following a demo from Sam use raw fish to make ceviche (cured in lemon or lime juice) or carpaccio (thinly sliced fish)</li></ul>We source our fish and shellfish from our local fishmonger to make ensure we use both local and seasonal fish.This is a hands-on cooking class. All food made can be taken away and enjoyed at home.This workshop will be led by Samantha Kirk, our Community Chef.
