Spatch. Rotate. Eat – Kerry’s ultimate comfort food
With just a couple of Fringe days left, if you’re still looking for show recommendations with a difference, I can highly recommend Comfort Food Cabaret at the New Town Cookery School on Queen Street.
OK, so the weather is decidedly cool again but this year’s recent hot Scottish summer has produced a bumper crop of delicious Scotty Brand raspberries. To celebrate their bumper crop, the lovely people at Scotty brand sent me a berry hamper to create my own Very Scotty Berry cocktail, which…
The Edinburgh Fringe has plenty to delight foodies but so does the Edinburgh Book Festival, which runs from tomorrow, 11 – 27 August. Two events I will definitely be taking in are their Afternoon Tea event in the Spiegeltent. Not only do you get to hear tales from two great cookery…
This year’s Edinburgh Fringe 2018 officially starts today. With 3,548 shows taking place across all genres, there’s something for everyone to enjoy, including foodies.

With the Fringe just around the corner and Assembly Festival’s site already up, if you’ve no plans this weekend, head to George Square Gardens for the 5th annual Assembly Food Festival. With quality Scottish food at the heart of it, the festival is a fantastic introduction for visitors to see…
They say every day’s a school day and so it was when I attended a cocktail master class at the American Bar at the award winning and very beautiful Voodoo Rooms, one of Edinburgh’s hidden gems, that’s steeped in history – be sure to check out the graffiti on the…

So, despite having already booked a table at one of the soft-launches on the first Saturday, I couldn’t resist accepting a bloggers’…
Launching just as the summer season begins in earnest, the new Brasserie Menu at Harvey Nichols focuses on classic dishes and the finest seasonal ingredients and you really can’t get a better place to enjoy the tastes of summer when the sun shines.

Taking my car for a service and its annual MOT in Leith at the end of June, I noticed a new restaurant, Borough, in the space that was previously Norn and before that the Plumed Horse.
