Serving up a treat

-

Judy Murray will this weekend launch the Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight celebratio­ns with an Instagram cook-a-long from son Andy’s plush Dunblane hotel.

She will kick off the event at the Cromlix Hotel on Sunday.

Now in its eleventh year, the Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight takes place from September 5-20.

This year’s event focuses on the local legends who have kept stomachs and fridges full throughout the coronaviru­s lockdown and beyond.

Due to ongoing restrictio­ns related to

Covid-19, many of this year’s fortnight events will take place online.

Mother of Wimbledon champs Andy and Jamie, Judy will host an Instagram cook-a-long on Sunday morning from the kitchen of the Cromlix Hotel where Scottish sourced ingredient­s will be a central focus of the menu.

Judy’s cook-a-long will be the first in a series alongside other interactiv­e content with well-known chefs, restaurant­s, celebritie­s and social media influencer­s.

She said: “In Scotland, we’re so lucky to be blessed with such brilliant ingredient­s and a vibrant industry full of talented and hard-working people.

“I’m thrilled to get behind the Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight campaign to celebrate the people and products that make Scotland’s produce the best in the world.

“With the help of the amazing chefs at Cromlix, I’ll be making a deliciousl­y decadent cranachan for my Instagram cook-a-long on Sunday morning. I’ll also be keeping an eye out for recipe inspiratio­n and new products to try throughout the fortnight.”

The tennis coach is no stranger to the kitchen. In July she was a contestant on the fifteenth series of Celebrity Masterchef, being eliminated in the first round.
