> Tsumami Appeal - Scotland's Top Chefs cook Serious
Food
In February Stravaiginís Colin Clydesdale, along with Nick Nairn and Andrew
Fairlie, prepared and cooked a Gourmet Dinner for 400 VIPs in Glasgowís City
Chambers with all proceeds donated to Hikaduwa, a Sri Lankaan village struck
by the Asian Tsunami. The vast sum of £88,000 generated enabled the locals
to repair their fleets of boats essential in sustaining their communities.
By way of thanks to Colin for his efforts the villagers named the first boat
back in the water "Stravaigin".
> Hebridean Delicacy
In October 2004 we managed to secure a rare salted gannet. These prized Lewisian
delicacy rarely reached the open market they are gastronomic gold dust. We
served this in the traditional Hebridean way with new potatoes and a glass
of milk. The verdict - its like a combination of duck, venison and blustery
afternoon on the face of The Old Man of Hoy.
