Edinburgh Foody

Welcome to Edinburgh Foody

We’re passionate about food. We write about ingredients, cooking, producers, baking, brewing, restaurants and chefs, often with an Edinburgh-centric or Scottish flavour. Founded in 2010, Edinburgh Foody continues that passion. We're interested in all aspects of food and drink, and the companies and people involved in the industry. The current team is Amy, Caroline, Kerry and Nicki. Find out more
