First, an apology for my silence over the past month. I have been otherwise engaged with my studies, making cooking and blogging somewhat more difficult. Exams are over, however, and I am free once again.
This weekend, I have been in Edinburgh visiting my brother, and to attend the Taste Restaurant Festival.
Taste is a series of national festivals which showcase the best food Britain has to offer. With a stick, a ball and a pocket full of dreams, the brothers doughboy set off in search of deliciousness. The festival offered a selection of food from the best restaurants in Scotland (one, my loyal reader will be happy to know, was even vegetarian/vegan). We tried a selection of the treats of offer, including suckling pig, salmon fishcakes, pig's cheek with scallops, Italian pasta dishes, tiramisu, esspresso icecream, sorbets, beer, summer cocktails cheeses, oils, breads, whiskey and (of course) macarons.
The food was generally excellent, as was the atmosphere and (thankfully) the weather. I would heartily recommend next years festival, or get yourself some tickets to the upcoming London festival.
Below are a few photographs of some of the food, taken by my brother, as well as some links to a few of my favourite stands from the festival.
