Chef Mark Greenaway puts Scotland’s cuisine in Popowlight

Greenaway found his first job in the kitchen when he was 15 years old. He was determined by the phone book in his hometown LaTark, Scotland, seeking hotels and restaurants that could hire a cook. After calling all of them, Cartland Bridge Hotel hired him like a KP, which was blue that thought was a student. He expressed his first day of work in the full white pit and a long hat. Spent all the dishes of bathing.
“I said, ‘Chef, I haven’t got anything,'” Greenaway recounts, speaking from Caleburgh Edinburgh On the day at the end of the day. “And he said, ‘Yes, KP.’ It came from Mema ‘at the Kitchen Porter.’ I am all day long in my divergage with my white hat, a dishwasher. But he said, ‘All right, return tomorrow.’ “
Today, Greenway is one of the most remarkable scale in Scotland, with a multi-decod pharmaceutical work in Scotland, England and Australia. But at the beginning he looked for a restaurant because he thought it would be an easy way to make money. “I thought: How difficult can it be?” He says, laughing my memory. “I enjoyed cooking at home and thought, ‘Yes, you have a day ready. It can’t be very difficult.'”
On that first day in the kitchen was the opening of the eye, not just because Greenaway refused white people who were completely cooked. There was his first time in a real restaurant. Rechearing even rebuilt until La Ladark, had never eaten outside home or was truly cooked with his family. He says: “That is not. So in my life, I never eaten at a restaurant like a normal customer. And now I always eat at the restaurant for a reason. But because I have never eaten at a restaurant, I really couldn’t have been a cook. “
Greenaway separates its time between three restaurants. Stays in the region of England, where Mark Greenaway in Wawwater Hotel Available, and lasts in Edinburgh to oversee Court In the Caledonia mouth in Edinburgh, who has just changed from Waldorf Atotoria to the part of Hilton Curio. In London, Greenaway Helms Pivot British Bar & Bistro.


Greenaway began his relationship with Caledonia Edinburgh in Dinburgh in 2019, when he was quartered in Mark Greenaway soon after closing his eyeliner, blue restaurant. In court, he currently shows the taste experience of six courses called “Moving Menu,” Mailing its name for his latest cookbook, Promotion.
“We want to show a wonderful product that we have in Scotland,” it means each individual menu. “It is true, we want to show the kitchen skills, but in such an ingredients. Some people like to have a mixture of security, adventure and good product.”
Greenaway and her team used many Scotland ingredients as much as possible. All seafood, and beef, chicken and the lamb, are found in your area. More than 80 percent of vegetables appear within 10 miles, as honey. The menu, also available as an option for a Carte, appears from time to time, usually changes every six weeks. Some famous vessels, such as the famous popular Spefferfing of Greenaway, live. Nothing associated with clichés with Scottish cuisine, sometimes thought to be in stockgy or boring.


“I called my first cookbook Not blind Because I wanted to try to change the idea of Scotland’s food in my small way from my little restaurant, “he has one of the best lamb.
However Not blind It came out of 2016, Greenaway, that some of the wings have left. He says: “I think the idea is still there and something we will always change. Greenaway is also not ashamed classics scottish, such as Haggis..
He says: “It will always be twisted in Scotland from what I do because that’s what I know.” I’m in Scotland
Greenaway’s approach to his convertible menus returned back his first years working at Auchteerard house Scotland. Although he had found its beginning in heavy cooking, Greenaway accepted a temporary gig as a pastries. “The head of the head said to me, ‘You are not allowed to repeat anything – not a Hurnish, not the flavor,” “Every one month I should have created a new dessert menert from the beginning. He was certainly heartwarming. ”
That building pushed Greenaway to get a lot of art. You estimate that you are creating several thousand containers during his or her desserts and dessert. He says: “It is always a challenge.” I always work three containers or four containers. Perhaps they collapsed my head, or a note on my computer, or email or text message.


Long time, Greenaway felt something to show in the kitchen, especially when she worked for other chefs. He says: “I haven’t asked to testify that.” I always felt like it. “However, now, she feels confident in her success, even if she still strives to advance.
“You can always be better as a cook.” It is not like Accountical, where it is straight. You are always limited by your intelligence. It is one of the fewest jobs where you can express it. ‘Let’s look at what is happening.’ We can do that with ingredients. We respond to what will be. “
PromotionReleased in the last summer in the UK, for example a unchanging desire of Greenaway development. It is a good cookbook, with arch photos at each container. He never aims to write a second letter, but he says “the madness” drives him to get the process again. “I felt that I had many stories I have to say,” he says. And many ways you can share. And as soon as you get a book of cooking, it is old, because those dishes are made. There are dishes in my second menu now that are not even in my second book. ”


These days, Greenaway describes success as being able to pass his knowledge of the knowledge. He often draws closer to many restaurants or events worldwide, but he chooses to follow his focus on his current work so he can train his cooks. He says: “Success on me has a happy group and a busy restaurant and a regular busy,” he said. And despite choosing his choice of choice based on the negative kingdom of it would be easier, he is always grateful to be part of a daily sector.
He says: “Take me a few months in the kitchen before I see this.” It’s not that I first found it – nothing is easy to be a cook – but better. You change quickly, helping you want to stay. And I don’t want to. “
