Elliott’s Studio

Jess has designed Elliott’s Studio as an extension of her home. It’s where she cooks, writes recipes and teaches.
Alongside a calendar of events with visiting artists and food writers, including a partnership programme with the Edinburgh International Book Festival, Jess hosts her series of cookery demonstration lunches in the space each season.
In these 3-hour sessions, Jess takes you step by step through her seasonal menu, using produce from local growers and her garden in the Scottish Borders.
Tasting each course as you go, you learn the skills required to recreate each dish in your own kitchen, including guidance on how to choose and use the best of season’s produce in your home cooking.
You’ll pick up loads of handy tips and tricks from Jess’s many years of cooking at Elliott’s, writing cookbooks, testing food columns and food styling for commercials and TV.
Her lunch menu is accompanied by a welcome snack and drink, natural wine on the table and a recipe booklet so that you can confidently recreate the dishes at home.

Welcome to Spring, the season I think of as being all light and fresh, all greens and pinks. As well as its colours, Spring’s flavours always inspire me to get cooking in the Studio. There’s the fresh tips of grassy asparagus to look forward to along with young alliums, purple sprouting broccoli and radishes. Sunday walks at this time of year are guided by how much wild garlic I can fit in my handbag! Plus there’s the very last of the year’s fuchsia forced rhubarb from Yorkshire and Kent to be eaten up as pudding!
