A warm welcome to 2015, which rather excitingly is Scotland’s Year of Food & Drink. I was along at the launch of Scotland’s Year of Food and Drink, a couple of months ago. It set the scene for the type of events and topics that we could likely expect at…
I’m not one to gush, butohmygodgotoAizlerightnow. Just stop. Drop whatever you’re doing and book your dinner at Edinburgh’s new dining experience, Aizle. It’s a charming place, with a well thought-out concept, staffed by talented people who are creating and serving fantastically fresh, deliciously dynamic food. You won’t be sorry. (Unless, of course,…
