SCOT’S GOLD

Edinburgh chef rolls out haute cuisine here.

Few chefs can stick a price tag of £2,000 (S$3,900) on a simple Christmas pudding. But that’s what Edinburgh chef Mark Greenaway did, when he was asked to come up with dessert fit for a millionaire by transnational lottery Euromillions last year. The extravagant 24K gold leaf-covered caramel apple might not be on the menu when Greenaway heads down to prepare the opening gala dinner for Best of British on June 3, but given the chef’s love for treating Scottish produce with modern techniques like spherification, one can expect dinner to be no less than entertaining. Best of British, which runs from June 3 to June 11, features a line-up that includes a cabaret show and comedy night.
