Default New Scottish Chef



Hello to all!

I have been working within catering now for around 20 years. At present I am Head Chef in the Capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, fairly busy place without lots of potential.

Any interest in Scottish cuisine feel free to quiz me.

Regards
Gogs

Hello Gogs, and welcome to the Cafe. My acquaintance with Scottish cuisine predates deep-fried candy bars (mercifully) but misses the new wave of chefs using fresh ingredients which are the jewels of your country- salmon and other fish being foremost in my humble opinion.

I did try haggis. I would indulge again, given the opportunity.

Regards,
Mezzaluna

Welcome Gogs. My home town is Carnoustie, a culinary mecca in Scotland as you know Not in a million years.

Hello, Gogs.

You might trot down to Chef Talk's Restaurants - Reviews & Recommendations category ("International Restaurants" forum).

I'm planning my first trip to Scotland and would love to hear your Edinburgh dining recommendations.

Chef Edinburgh delights

Having just return from working in France, I am a wee bit of the beat with where is good to eat but I know some favourites Sweet Malindas- not expensive but a treat, Graywalls- Gullainne closing soon but my ex-sous is running this award winning hotel. Lauders at the Kings Manor excellent fine dinning restaurant within a small family run hotel. Prestonfield House everyone is talking about but I want pass judgement on it. Monpeillors are alway decent modern food. Martin Wisharts good guy(my first commis but many years ago) leader of the pack lots of people talk about lollo rosso, then again there is always lots of talk!!!

some to think about my first three are MY top three.

Gogs
