Rise of the UK’s Top Celebrity Chefs

“Anyone who’s a chef, who loves food, ultimately knows that all that matters is: ‘Is it good? Does it give pleasure?’” – Anthony Bourdain

As purveyors of high quality produce we think very highly of those who have the same sentiment towards food as we do – chefs, and in particular, celebrity chefs. How does one go from merely enjoying food to making a high-flying celebrity career out of it? We look at some of the top UK chefs and their rise to fame & success:

How to Cook Traditional Scottish Puddings

“The proof is in the pudding!” – Unknown

The savoury Scottish pud - a delicacy that graces many Scottish dinner plates. Whether you’re eating black, red or white there’s a way to do it. Many a Scot will just pop into the local chip shop and eat them fried in batter and served with chips – and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that! 

A Winter Warmer… Food for Cold Nights

“Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments, embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour.” – John Boswell

There’s no doubt about it. Scotland does winter food remarkably well. It’s very likely this is to do with the often bitterly cold climate, the not so hot summer days and the harshest of winter winds. 

Robert Burns Halloween – Then & Now

Boo! It's that time of year again - Halloween is drawing near and, as a food manufacturing company that specialises in traditional Scottish produce, we look back in time to the most celebrated Scots poet – Robert Burns.

Old ‘Rabbie’, was famously a big fan of all things mystical and spooky. He even penned a whole poem dedicated to All Hallow’s Eve – the night where the veil between living and dead is said to be thinnest!

Food Festivals Around the World

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." - Virginia Wolf

All around the world there is one thing we have in common – food. We all eat it, we all love it and many of us celebrate it. As a Scottish food manufacturing company, we specialise in traditional food, sourced locally from the vast landscape of Scotland. We encourage and admire the celebration of local food, which is why we have put together some of our favourite food festivals from around the world.
