  As awareness is raised around the globe today as World Cancer Day aims to 'Close the Care Gap' of this body cell disease, it brought back to mind the dining experience from my birthday lunch last week. In Dennistoun, in the east-end of Glasgow the Beat 6 restaurant is just 3 months old. It's been on my personal and Tasting Scotland 'must try' restaurant list since it opened in November 2021. "Do good - Feel good" is the motto in the latest venture from chef and restauranteur Nico Simeone, but this time it's a little different. All the profits go to a local Cancer Charity. As is the case in many families Cancer was to throw a curveball ...

Tales and Tastings of Scotland

What does it take to create an authentic tasting event in Scotland? It’s hard to think of a better setting to deliver an informal tasting journey, exploring the fascinating story of Scotland’s iconic cuisine, than in a castle-like historic house dating back to the 15th Century.

It is certainly the most spectacular golf clubhouse in which I have had the pleasure of delivering a Scottish food tasting event. With exceptional medieval woodwork, Flemish stained ...
