Looking forward to June, there is an interesting event taking place at the ever lively Summerhall on Sunday 15th.
Billed as Savour, United Flavours of Edinburgh, some of the capital’s top artisan producers, suppliers, chefs and wine merchants will be providing an afternoon of food-related exploration.
Virtual menu, real eats
The Savour team will be taking over Summerhall, the former Dick Vet School, and creating ‘a virtual menu where spaces will be used imaginatively to create a fun journey around a wealth of produce’.
So, among other events, the former Histology Lab will be transformed by Queen Margaret University’s Gastronomy Department into a Beer Lab which promises to take visitors on a mini journey through beer’s production, taste, styles and social history.
Drinks matching
In the Dissection Room, a variety of food producers, chefs and restaurants will be cooking up a delicious range of goodies to taste or buy. These will be paired with local wine and beer merchants.
Pudding Hall
The Pudding Hall will feature a long table with a pudding banquet. The space is designed so you can enjoy a variety of sweets things from several local pudding purveyors and then sit down to enjoy them.
In The Cheese Lounge and Larder – the former Bone Room of the Veterinary College – Edinburgh Larder will be selling a variety of chutneys, pickles, cordials and other goodies. Match these with a platter of cheeses and retire to the lounge area to enjoy!
There is more to be announced and you can keep track of developments here. Normal price tickets £15 but early birds booking before April 15th can snaffle tix at £10 a pop. Kids under 12 go free with a paying adult.
