COOKING WITH CLAIRE
Best-selling cookery writer Claire Macdonald is famed for her practical, realistic recipes. She is also admired for a remarkable willingness to share the secrets of her kitchen, and celebrated for her truly wonderful sense of fun. All of this comes together splendidly in the three-day residential cookery courses Claire hostswithin her home at Kinloch on the Isle of Skye.

Can there be an easier or more relaxed way in which to counter any fear of the unknown? Claire's tuition style, peppered with a wealth of entertaining anecdotes and time-saving tips, is relaxed and informal yet informative and hugely empowering too. Whether complete novices or kitchen-competent, attendees amass a wealth of recipes plus the technical know-how and confidence to realise them with genuine aplomb.

Tuition sessions are balanced with time aplenty to relax in Kinloch's magical setting or explore Skyeís wildly romantic beauty. Naturally, the experience includes all the pampering and discreet luxury of this most remarkable of highland hideaways, characterised by its warmth of welcome and beautifully appointed guest-rooms.
