A radical masterplan vision for a new culinary school which imagines the city and wider area as the classroom and connected through a network of ‘floating’ kitchens (cable cars) and stations (classrooms).

Building on traditional culinary education and experiences, typically carried out internationally, the 'Haute Cuisine' Culinary School celebrates these values and brings them into the heart of Edinburgh.

The school celebrates Edinburgh’s rich culinary history, bountiful and seasonal natural larder; the diverse, multi-cultural, and award-winning dining experiences; and the existing pioneering culinary schools. Students are united with the gastronomic wisdom of local food-and-drink entrepreneurs, educators, and producers to equip them with a ‘larder of ingredients’ (skills) to ensure their culinary careers are a ‘recipe for success’.

Extending from the school is a new social and cultural experience, allowing students to provide new dining and tourist experiences. Hungry and passionate foodies are offered the opportunity to eat their way around the world around Edinburgh, whilst learning about its culinary past, present, and future.
