Fresh, simple, Scottish …THIS IS THE MANTRA THAT STEERED VICTOR AND CARINA CONTINI, (THE BRAINS BEHIND CENTOTRE AND ZANZERO), WHEN THEY WON THE CONTRACT TO CATER AT THE SCOTTISH CAFÉ THIS YEAR. THEIR VISION WAS FOR A MENU THAT PRESERVED SCOTTISH CULINARY HERITAGE WHILST USING THE PRODUCE OF THE BEST SCOTTISH SUPPLIERS. We visited on a rainy Sunday to see for ourselves. To start I chose the

This film is a heart-warming tale of women, food and love.Set in Paris and America in the 1950's and New York in 2002 it recounts the lives of Julia Child and Julie Powell respectively.

Review : Written September 2009 THE RESTAURANT AT THE END OF THE WORLDOR SO IT FEELS. THE DRIVE TO THIS ROSETTE-STARRED TREAT IS AN HOUR ACROSS SKYE. IT IS HOWEVER, A SPECTACULAR JOURNEY TAKING IN DRAMATIC MOUNTAINS AND RUGGED COASTLINE (MIND THE SHEEP). AT LAST YOU REACH AN OLD CROFTERS COTTAGE AND IF I WERE TO HAVE A LAST MEAL THIS WOULD BE AS GOOD A PLACE AS ANY. THE CANDLELIT DINING ROOM WITH

REVIEW OF THE MONTH - TAPA BARRA Y RESTAURANTE - Wishart's Warehouse , 19 Shore Place -0131 476 6776 My first trip to Tapa was to the opening where the ready flow of rioja and cava recalled nothing less that the infamous EED ‘wine lakes’. By 9pm guests and staff alike were in full flamenco swing. It was obvious; owners Kate and Robert Scobie know how to throw a party. I resolved to return soon.

GUSTO IS A STUNNINGLY STYLISH ESTABLISHMENT INSPIRED BY THE CLASSIC ITALIAN RISTORANTE OF THE 1950S. IT MANAGES TO BE BOTH GLAMOROUS AND FAMILY FRIENDLY. I VISITED ON A SATURDAY EVENING AND WAS GLAD I ‘MADE AN EFFORT’. GUSTO IS WELL-DRESSED AND COSMOPOLITAN SO YOU CAN WEAR YOUR BEST GEAR. IT EXUDES THE CLASS THAT MANY GEORGE STREET VENUES MERELY ASPIRE TO HAVING. IT’S POPULAR TOO; THIS EVENING'S
