As were are creatures of habit (with a little bit of OCD thrown in) we like to blog on Fridays, so this comes 24 hours after St Andrew’s Day, but I am sure when you see the recipe you will forgive us. Scottish food often comes in for a bit of stick, mainly because if […]

Us chefs love cooking game so I was delighted when I read about the success of the ‘Game Changer’ project, which is being promoted as part of Great British Game Week. This is an initiative, by the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, to teach 60,000 students to cook game by 2020. It starts with […]

When we discovered today was International Beer Day, we fought each other over who should write the blog and provide a recipe. After all, who doesn’t like beer? Not only is it great on its own, from a chef’s point of view, it’s fantastic for using in food. Whether it’s giving some robustness to a […]

Wimbledon starts on Monday. That means, for many, it’s time to pretend they enjoy watching two people (or four if it’s doubles) hitting a ball repeatedly at each other for hours. No doubt, the municipal tennis courts (if they are any left) around the country will also start filling up as Murray fever, and hopefully […]

Glastonbury is underway, so after the recent hot spell that pretty much guarantees that the 100,000-plus people who attend the festival will find themselves drenched and bogged down in mud by the end of it. It’s hard to believe that the first festival took place in 1970 with just one act, T-Rex, who actually replaced […]

When we were doing our research for this blog on British Tomato Week 2017, we were surprised to discover that four out of five tomatoes now eaten in the UK are imported. We understand, obviously, that the Great British Weather, contributes to this, but it’s little wonder that people say tomatoes don’t taste like they […]

There are two great national food awareness days this week so we thought we would give you two for the price of one. British Sandwich Week is running at the same time as National Vegetarian Week, which is perfect as the two go hand in hand.

It’s National Doughnut Week. If you are a regular reader of this blog you will know we’re big fans of food ‘awareness’ weeks in the SK kitchen as it gives us chefs an excuse, not that we ever need one, to be creative. Unlike some events that are so obviously manufactured to help big companies […]

If you like Star Wars, yesterday would have been your day (May the 4th Be with you), but whilst we are big fans of the movies (apart from Phantom Menace of course!) we prefer to celebrate Cinco de May0. (5th of May). That’s because Mexican food is one of the staples in the SK kitchen.

We are still enjoying Great British Beef Week (GBB) here in the SK kitchen this time with shorthorn beef. We couldn’t let the occasion pass without giving you a little inspiration for a tasty and seasonal bank holiday Sunday (or any day) roast. It’s also a fitting tribute to mark the end of GBB week for 2017. […]
