Last week I was delighted to be asked by Scotland Food & Drink as one of their chef Ambassadors to attend the annual Excellence Awards<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can watch a short interview with my fellow ambassadors and myselfhere<\/a><\/p>\n

820 guests was a mammoth undertaking and I am happy to report that the food and drink service considering the scale of the task was excellent. What a great start. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

The Awards were naturally the highlight. Always especially proud when our suppliers are shortlisted or even better win. Peelham Farm<\/a> in particular winning for their Organic Air-dried Smoked Juniper Mutton<\/span><\/p>\n

Graham’s the Family Dairy<\/a> winning for their super creamy Gold Milk in the dairy category.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At our table we had Loch Duart Salmon<\/a> winning for Foodservice Product of the Year. Yester Dairies<\/a> were also shortlisted for their creme fraiche in the dairy category. And Mara seaweed<\/a> winning for their Furikake in the Healthy Choice category. Mackie’s crisps<\/a> also getting the award for their Mature Cheddar & Onion Crisps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovely to get a cuddle from fellow chefs Neil Forbes of Cafe St Honore<\/a> and Fred Berkmiller of L’escargot Blanc<\/a> who brilliantly won for best sourcing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our dear friend Robert Corrigan of Mr C’s Pies<\/a> was looking as dapper as always. <\/span><\/p>\n

So many of the champions of our industry from farmers, producers, small artisans to large exporters passionate about promoting Scotland’s larder. <\/span><\/p>\n

What a great club to be part of. Very proud to play a very tiny part in showcasing all the great work that is undertaken.<\/span><\/p>\n
