Scotland’s Culinary Easter Feast
Preceding the satisfying crack of a smashed chocolate egg at Easter is the main course, but why is mint the perfect gastro pairing for the sacrifical lamb?
Like other Christian countries Scotland celebrates Easter with gastronomic gusto with the humble egg the symbolic heart of a religious feast focusing on both redemption and regeneration. Hot cross buns and to a lesser extent this side of the border, Simnel Cake are also as representative of Easter as pancakes are of Pancake Day.

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 food tasting event.

Fisher food and more in fabulous Fife!
Culinary treasure was promised on our gourmet journey to the ‘East Neuk’ of the Kingdom of Fife and that was exactly what we found.
Our first stop was to meet Jane Stewart of the St Andrew’s Farmhouse Cheese Company, who develops a range of traditional, high quality artisan cheese. Despite a viewing window & looped DVD showing the production of the cheese onsite, one of the things that makes a tour with Tasting Scotland so special is that you actually come face to face with some of Scotland’s food heroes and heroines. By providing you with a unique insight into what makes their product so special; be it in terms of the traditional process ...
A top day out Tasting Ayrshire
There was more than an air of success about this ‘Tasting Ayrshire’ Tour. The majority of our guests are well-respected entrepreneurs who afforded themselves a rare bank holiday off, and quite rightly so we say.
Our day started with a visit to the Dunlop Dairy where Ann produces award winning artisan cheeses, using the milk from Ayrshire cows and goats (her own herd, which she milks herself). The tasting took us on a journey from a baby soft, creamy yet piquant goat’s cheese through to the grandmother of Ann’s brood, the nutty matured Dunlop. That’s what we love the most about vertical tastings it allows everyone to pin-point their own ...
Walk the Talk – Tasty Treats in Edinburgh
Greetings Fellow Foodies!
Walk the Talk: Tasty Treats in Edinburgh’s glorious Old Town
Our first Foodie Walking Journey provided an opportunity to celebrate the range of artisan produce available to try in the heart of our beautiful Capital City. Traditionally made speciality cheeses, hot smoked salmon, venison salami & slow spit-roasted pork, were perfectly complimented by the sweet notes from organic thick, creamy hot chocolate, an array of artisan ice-creams, sorbets and little square of fudge…..or 3.
Theme for the day: ‘Calorie Neutral Foodie Heaven’ (surely the walking element off-sets the calorific values? Yes, we think so ...
