Tales and Tastings of Scotland
What does it take to create an authentic tasting event in Scotland? It’s hard to think of a better setting to deliver an informal tasting journey, exploring the fascinating story of Scotland’s iconic cuisine, than in a castle-like historic house dating back to the 15th Century.
Luckily for me the beautiful Pitfirrane House; home of the Halkett family in Dunfermline, was the location chosen by the Rotary Club of West Fife for their recent social gathering. It is certainly the most spectacular golf clubhouse in which I have had the pleasure of delivering a Scottish ...
Father’s Day – the ‘Gift of Experience’
Happy May Day! Next month it's Father's Day (Sun 15 June) and over the next few weeks the same question will pop up. What do you give the man who has everything?

I can’t wait to share these latest taste innovations with you when you join us on one of our eating and drinking gourmet journeys through Scotland or at one of our artisan tasting events. Take for example a fudge combination ...

The word on the street from the parents is that yes, we did engage the children through a range of sensory experiences that has ignited an interest and the start of a journey of understanding about the food they eat.On the day, despite a light wind and a few clouds in the sky the weather stayed ...
Seasonal Summer Specialities
Inspired by some of the best weather we have enjoyed in Scotland in more than a handful of years it seemed only right to set the menu for our latest Food, Fun and Fizz around the warm weather wave and the seasonal deliciousness of early summer produce. As always in conjunction with Pieter Rosenthal of Cork and Bottle we set about combining a menu that showcased some of our favourite artisan food producers with a range of perfectly matched wines.The date was significant in itself. June 20th, the official end of the asparagus season. Despite starting very late yet again ...
