Be inspired with Scotland Food & Drink Fortnight Cook-along with our Local Legend; Scotland’s National Chef

It’s an exciting time in Scotland. Scotland Food and Drink Fortnight; the annual September celebration has begun and today I’m raising my glass and announcing another very deserving ‘Local Legend’; the theme of this year’s celebration. I’ll also be providing you with the details of how you can get cooking with this ‘Local Legend’ from the comfort of your own kitchen, as he prepares a special #ScotFoodFort20 menu for you to cook-along with him via his Facebook page tomorrow, 9th September. Every year the first two weeks of September are given over to celebrating all that is wonderful, local, delicious and inspirational involving ...

Father’s Day – the ‘Gift of Experience’

Happy May Day! Next month it's Father's Day (Sun 15 June) and over the next few weeks the same question will pop up. What do you give the man who has everything? We thought it was time we told you about our Father's Day secret. Is your dad is a Steak and Ale man, who is partial to some speciality cheese? If the answer is yes, then he’ll love our first ever Self-Drive Tasting Lunch at the Hugh Grierson Organic Farm in relaxing, rural Perthshire. It sure beats a pair of socks, a bottle of Scotch and a box of wine gums, does it not? This 'Experience Gift' is the one he will remember long after the whisky and wine gums are finished and the ...

‘Food, Fun & Fizz’ – absolutely fabulous!

Firstly congratulations to all who managed to get themselves a ticket for our sold-out inaugural Tasting Scotland ‘Food, Fun & Fizz’ event in conjunction with Cork and Bottle on Thursday 22nd November in Glasgow. Sorry to everyone else who had their sights set on the best value ticket in town, but who we couldn’t quite squeeze into the Tasting Room at The Good Spirits Co. We described the event as being the first of what is sure to be a fabulously different wine & dine event. Friends, family or colleagues came together and enjoyed a perfectly executed blend of pop-up tapas restaurant, traditional wine tasting & some gourmet ...

The answer to ‘what’s next after you’ve dined in, eaten in & shopped local?’

Hannah Ewan knows more than a thing or two about food and lets face it she has to. As well as Deputy Editor of The List's Edinburgh & Glasgow Eating & Drinking Guide, she is included as one of the 80-strong team of locally based incognito reviewers who amass more that 900 impartial summaries of the dining scene in Scotland's two lagest cities. We were delighted that Hannah and her colleague Jay Thundercliffe (The List's Glasgow Editor) chose to join us on a recent tour of fabulous foodie Fife. And so to the question: What is next after you have dined out, eaten in and shopped local?  Read Hannah's thoughts by clicking here

Tasting Tasting….calling all cheese & wine lovers!

We recognise that not everyone can join us on one of our food tours, be it a day or a week long Gourmet Journey through the best of Scotland’s food scene, and that’s why we also offer a range of tasting events that quite literally bring the produce and the producer’s inspiring story to you. Tasting Scotland was pleased to collaborate with Pieter Rosenthal of Cork & Bottle and provide the guests of 29studios, a Glasgow based visual communications agency (with a fabulous event space!), with a relaxed, fun yet informative evening of Cheese &  Wine Tasting. These events are a perfect way for friends,family, colleagues, business ...

Fisher food and more in fabulous Fife!

Culinary treasure was promised on our gourmet journey to the ‘East Neuk’ of the Kingdom of Fife and that was exactly what we found. Our first stop was to meet Jane Stewart of the St Andrew’s Farmhouse Cheese Company, who develops a range of traditional, high quality artisan cheese. Despite a viewing window & looped DVD showing the production of the cheese onsite, one of the things that makes a tour with Tasting Scotland so special is that you actually come face to face with some of Scotland’s food heroes and heroines. By providing you with a unique insight into what makes their product so special; be it in terms of the traditional process ...
