Michelin-Star Chefs Lend Support to Scottish Food Fortnight

Scottish Food Fortnight, the annual celebration of Scottish produce, has been backed by some of the country's leading culinary names. Martin Wishart and Gordon Ramsay, along with food columnist and cookery experts Lady Claire Macdonald and Wendy Barrie have all voiced support for the two-week event to be held later this year.

Scottish Food Fortnight was established in 2003 to raise awareness of the quality and variety of food and drink on offer in Scotland, and to change the habits of what we eat and where we buy it. Producers, retailers, restaurateurs, farm shops, farmers' markets and hoteliers across Scotland participate in the fortnight of events to promote and celebrate Scottish produce.

'We have the perfect platform here in Scotland to offer visitors innovative and contemporary culinary experiences and our main aim is to develop the right networks and connections between our restaurants, local food outlets and Scottish producers,' Wishart. 'Our local producers provide the unique ingredients that give us a distinctive food identity and worldwide reputation for quality'.

Scottish Food Fortnight 2007 will be held from 1st September until 16th September 2007. To participate or to find out more details of events in your area, visit
