Her growing network of chefs and producers throughout Scotland and across Europe, particularly Scandinavia, give her a wealth of experience and critical view of Scotland’s strengths, making her the No1 choice for promoting artisan produce – where to find it and what to do with it.

Her passion for artisan foods has led her to remote dairies deep in the mountain valleys of Norway and the high shielings of Sweden; to Terra Madre in Turin and bringing Scottish producers to France. Her courses at Scottish Food Studio in Aberdour are quite unique: never predictable, always exceptional.
