Chef's Night Draws a Crowd

I have been meaning to write a little round-up of our inaugural Chef's Night, but The Highland's Post has beaten me to it! Page 5 of today's issue features a write-up of our Chef's Night, with a photo of Richard Kemp from Eschalot creating quite an impression on his audience.



Our first Chef's Night (held earlier this month) was a huge success. We were lucky enough to have Richard as our first guest chef; an inspired choice, as it turned out, as his food, presentation and connection with the audience were perfectly on the mark. The response to the idea was far beyond our expectations, with the evening booked out within three days of the first advertisement. We are quite limited in our space, but this creates an intimate environment in which all the attendees can get in close to the action, so to speak, in order to really get a clear view of what the chef is doing. We thank Richard for his fabulous demonstration, and look forward to inviting him back again.



Our next Chef's Night, which will be held on September 8, promises to be a whole lot of fun. We have the effervescent Melinda from Red Olive coming in to demonstrate tapas for us. She is just the perfect person for this style of cooking: warm, friendly, enthusiastic, and completely approachable. She is almost as excited as we are about the upcoming evening! She has lined up some wonderful dishes: exotic and impressive, yet achievable for the home cook. The demonstrations run for about 2 hours (commencing at 6pm), and the cost is $30 per head. If this particular demonstration takes your fancy, I suggest you book without delay: we expect this class to be very popular!



Our October class is shaping up to be one for the gourmands. Without giving too much away, our chef is one of the most progressive and passionate foodies in the Highlands, who immerses himself in everything the world of modern gastronomy has to offer. This will be food to admire and revel in...
