Staff lunch… nothing fancy!!! 👀🔥🎣

We’re back in the prep kitchen this week, getting everything ready for The Wild Highland Kitchen’s return to the Highland Food & Drink Trail next week 😁

We’re also prepping for a private catering job for a group of 14 staying at a beautiful countryside lodge — so there’s plenty happening behind the scenes.

Obviously, all that cooking works up an appetite…

Today’s very humble staff lunch:

Puttanesca gnocchi with seared Scottish bluefin tuna. 🐟🍅

One of the occupational hazards of having chefs in the kitchen is that “we’ll just make something quick for lunch” occasionally gets a little out of hand. 😂

Back to prep now…

We had a fantastic time at your first wedding show in Elgin on Sunday. It was exciting to meet all the lovely couples planning their big day.

Hopefully we can be a part of that day and make the food add to the memories. 💙

Absolutely thrilled to be invited to be a judge at the Rotary Clubs Masterchef competition in Dingwall Academy. It was an especially nice moment for myself as when I was 14 I entered the same competition at my high school in Aberdeenshire and won, thus beginning my career in Hospitality. 😁👍

We’ve added something a little different to The Wild Highland Kitchen menu today - our Thai Beef Massaman Curry.

Made with Scottish beef chuck, slowly cooked until tender in a smooth, rich and fragrant Massaman sauce, loaded with potatoes and peanuts.

And because a bowl just wasn’t quite enough… we’re serving it in a fresh bread bowl from The Bakery Inverness, perfect for soaking up every last bit of that curry. 👌

🐑 NEW TODAY - HIGHLAND LAMB PATTY 🐑

Another dish that starts with the produce, not the packet.

We recently bought a whole Highland lamb directly from the source and butchered it ourselves. We’ve been working our way through the whole animal, creating different dishes from each cut and today it’s the turn of the mince.

Our Highland Lamb Patty is seasoned with onion, garlic, fresh mint and coriander, then cooked until beautifully caramelised.

We serve it in a fresh ciabatta roll from The Bakery, Inverness, layered with:

🌿 Homemade yoghurt & mint sauce
🥕 Our own pickled vegetables
🧀 Crumbled feta
🌱 Fresh rocket
🌶️ Homemade chilli & tomato sauce

It’s fresh, herby, a little spicy and packed with Highland lamb.

For us, buying a whole animal means respecting the produce and finding a way to make every cut into something worth eating.

Open all day!
