Scotland's Top Chocolatiers

My favourite chocolatiers appeared in The Scotsman the other day (see link below) which reminded me that we're running out of hot chocolate - a real treat that's kept us going through lockdown.

So I need to place another order soon.

Scotland's top chocolatiers show us their Valentine's Day goodies and tell us if chocolate really is an aphrodisiac

Giving your beloved a box of choccies is the classic romantic gesture.

Edda Holt and Kirsty Irvine of Edinburgh’s Edward and Irwyn

Edward & Irwyn's Lover's Box, £14

“The Lover’s Box, £14, includes two of everything, arranged in symmetry, so a couple can start at one end and work their way towards the middle, experiencing the same flavours at the same time.

"However, whatever your situation, they’re designed to be delicious, either shared or hoarded, celebrating whatever you wish to celebrate.

“It’s been very popular, as have all our boxes. People come in to buy for themselves, saying that they received our chocolates as a gift and have craved them ever since, which we take as the highest compliment.

"We also do caramel boxes, which contain salted honey caramels and a slab of creamy vanilla and lava salt chocolate, and the larger mixed boxes also feature our real honey honeycomb. Both are a celebration of our customer favourites”.

Chocolate Heaven (18/05/21)


My daughter Kirsty and her business partner Edda have managed to keep their 'hand-made' chocolate business (Edward & Irwyn) going during the Coronavirus lockdown.

The Edward & Irwyn retail shop in Edinburgh has been closed since lockdown began in March, but their online and delivery service is stilling strong.

So if you'd like to treat yourself or one of your friends to some delicious chocolate treats, here's a link to the Edward & Irwyn web site.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
