It’s been a while. There are no excuses, apart from me being very busy indeed. However, the crazy summer weeks have now finished, and I’m trying to snatch more time to sit down and write for you all here. 

I have been mulling over the content on this website. It seems as though so many of you enjoy my recipes and I shall continue to share them for you here. I have also decided to create a newsletter for you all to share more with you. So, please do sign up. Just pop your email address in on the side bar of the home page, and my newsletter will hit your inbox soon. 

Thank you all for your support, as always,

20 Mile Supperclub Is Back & Cooking Classes in Scotland

I am excitedly planning my return to Burmieston in just a few days. I’m heading back to Perthshire again this June to bring my 20 mile Supperclub to Scotland. I’ll be cooking a seasonal three course supper on Wednesday 13th June at Burmieston, plus my ever-popular salad class and a fish masterclass are now open for bookings.

Last year, I was approached by Keesje and Olly at Burmieston to come up and teach a Smoking and a Fermenting Masterclass. I spent a weekend in September there and was absolutely enchanted by the very special space they have created. Burmieston is a smallholding in Perthshire, not far from Perth City. Keesje and Olly bought it just a few years ago, having seen the site and derelict buildings in the Sunday newspapers and took the plunge immediately. They have restored the farmhouse and the steading to create a magical place which offers accommodation, a kitchen garden and an amazing teaching space for a wide range of classes and events. Everything they do is so beautiful, stylish and high quality, with such high integrity and care for the environment. I urge you to take a look at their website. 

I am looking forward to being my 20 Mile Menu Supperclub to Scotland, and I will be sourcing the produce from local suppliers on the day, as well as teaching two of my very favourite classes.

I would love to see some of you there — and please do feel free to share this with anyone you think may be interested. There are more details on the Burmieston website. The farm is around a 15-20 minute drive from Perth.
