Slow Food Highland Dining and Storytelling in Inverness
Overview
I was born and brought up in Inverness, and am enthusiastic about the visiting potential of this area, and know it well.
I was a hostess/guide in the observation car of the Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh during the summer season when I was at University. I provided a running commentary during the journey, and helped travellers with suggestions on where to eat on arrival, what they should see in the area, and information on the Isle of Skye.
Inclusions
- Dinner
What to expect
The first thing to remember is that I'm not about "putting dots" on plates, I'm about real home cooking, typical food that is strongly characterised by local culture and history. The food that families cooked for generations, that tell stories and represent the true culture of a place.
Sample Menu
• Partan Bree - A rich, creamy crab soup: Partan means crab, and bree means liquid.
• Cranachan - “The uncontested King of Scottish Desserts”: cream and seasonal raspberries, Scottish honey, oatmeal and Whisky.

This was a shot in the dark to go to dinner at a strangers house, and we couldn't be more happier that we did. We really wanted the full Scottish friendly food experience, and Karen provided just that, in her beautiful home. She made some great foods that were on the Scottish "must try" list, but she also accommodated our squeamish teenagers that wont try seafood. The food couldn't have been any more "Farm to table" that what we had, it was freshly picked, cooked to perfection, and the company and conversation was marvelous. Wish we lived in the same country, so we could do it again! Treat yourself and family to this dinner and host.Dinner with Karen was a highlight of our trip to the Highlands. The meal she she served was authentic and delicious, especially the haggis. We loved spending time in her warm and inviting home and so enjoyed her company and conversation. Highly recommend that you spend evening with her as well!

Authentic, delicious Scottish dishes. All of her ingredients were locally sourced. The venison was especially good, dressed with fresh highland berries. I'm not fond of venison, but hers was delicious.
