An absolute joy to read and pleasure to gather and discuss thank you for hosting Lindsay!

Had a delicious evening hosting Transatlantic Literary Women (TLW) book club on MFK Fisher's The Gastronomical Me last night. Conversation touched upon tastes of home, buffet etiquette, the vulnerability of eating alone, and the glorious multitudes of the egg. A pleasure, as always. 🥚

Scottish food history should be as celebrated as its French & Italian counterparts according to experts like food historian Dr Lindsay Middleton is Well Fed&Well Read. She says 'Scotland's earliest printed cook books were 'incredibly international''.

you there, boy—what’s today?

I wish more people in the sector were aware of the work that’s been done. Scottish food/seafood tied in historically with fine white wine from the Loire & claret from Bordeaux…what’s not to love, savour, enjoy & promote National Trust for Scotland Màiri McAllan Dr Lindsay Middleton is Well Fed&Well Read SAHA NISE

It’s what we are seeing National Trust for Scotland - it’s what Dr Lindsay Middleton is Well Fed&Well Read & others are arguing for.We need to embed food & drink into the cultural tourism offer in Scotland as it is elsewhere Màiri McAllan Speaking on this & much else in Vilnius next week with NISE Áine Allardyce SAHA

Put the bank holiday to good use yesterday with a trip down to St Abb's Head to see the seabirds. Stunning as always, but the highlight by far was seeing my first ever red-backed shrike! A delight.

Late reposting… but had a lovely time surrounded by so many enthusiastic lovers of Scotland’s food and drink history. Grateful to be invited to speak.

Get a free copy of my favourite book and come discuss the delicious MFK Fisher with me! Wine too. What could be better?
