Our food choices have never been more important. Nutritious food provides vital fuel to power our health and wellbeing and help us reach our full potential.

If you’ve ever dreamt of launching a bespoke catering service, working as a private chef, becoming a health and fitness professional, running a healthy food business, or simply providing your family with healthy food, it’s important to learn the principles of nutrition and how to apply this knowledge effectively in the kitchen.
Our industry leading tutors and nutritionists are highly skilled and experienced in their fields. They will inspire and guide you in how to develop, and practically apply, your love of nutritious food, through their grounded, professional approach. You’ll also find yourself in a class of like-minded food lovers and build a supportive network of student colleagues.
We have partnered with the trained nutritionists behind The Pure Package, so that each session is guided by a nutritional specialist, offering a comprehensive understanding of the nutritional make up and effects of various foods. Our Leiths chefs will lead you through hands-on cooking sessions to put the nutrition theory into culinary practice, whilst never compromising on flavour.
This accredited course offers the opportunity to master the fundamental principles of nutrition that can change the way you approach food forever, and gain a repertoire of interesting recipes and culinary techniques that can improve the wellbeing of those that you cook for.
