Great British Menu
Representing Scotland on the BBC
One of our founders amy, represented scotland in the 2020 bbc two television series “Great british menu” in which the nation’s top chefs compete for the chance to cook at an incredible four course banquet. The programme sees amy create dishes with the theme of children’s literature.
Being on the Great British Menu and representing Scotland is a dream come true... it has been challenging to create four courses that not only tell the story, look good and most importantly taste delicious whilst showing respect and honouring the authors who have been the inspiration.... My cooking philosophy is simple - to use all the wonderful local ingredients that Scotland has to offer.
