woodland wedding

Picture
This was a stunning wedding we did September time in the highlands. It was amazing, the couple love Scotland and the outdoors, and they had some fantastic weather.
We foraged and decorated the canapés accordingly.
Picture
The marquee was understated and beautiful.  Lots of moss, greenery and natural wood.  As well as thoughtful personal touches from everyone involved.
Picture
The guests even did a bit of foraging for chanterelles!  So they featured on the menu too.
Picture
We wish them all the best and thank you for using us at Depends on the Day

christmas cooking

This year I cooked for some of my favourite clients. There was a family of 18 to feed over 2 days. A 12kg turkey did a great job and provided left overs.

I took off the legs and deboned them, cut the crown off so we could make an amazing stock with the bones for lots of gravy!
Picture
Then of course we needed the essential controversial vegetables..
Picture
And these cheese straws were a winner at the Boxing Day shoot lunch.

All the cooking done, I am settling in to read one of my Christmas presents.
We hope you all had a lovely festive season!

vegan cooking

Picture
We have recently been cooking for some vegans.
It was a fantastic opportunity to explore the different textures, colours and flavours needed to make up a meal.
Above is a poke bowl full of seasonal vegetables, seaweeds and various pulses. Served with a ginger miso dressing.
Below was my favourite. A chocolate tofu pot with raspberries, pomegranate and lemon balm.

Game season is in full swing now. I have been lucky enough to cook some of the scarce grouse this year.
Served with parsnip crisps, bread sauce and crispy potato cake.

Then to try something different I have been experimenting with game pasta. These tortelloni got dressed with truffle butter, Parmesan and crunchy crumbs.

The season is over but here are some photos from when the brief Scottish asparagus season was at its peak in May.
