Fresh Profit from East Lothian 2012
We are delighted to announce that in March 2012 we will be holding a ‘Meet the Buyers’ event at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh. There will be a selection of the finest East Lothian producers and manufacturers exhibiting and there will be the opportunity to 'taste the difference' between fresh and local and alternative products.
Chefs and Produce Buyers from Edinburgh and the Lothian’s are invited to attend the event to meet and speak with producers from East Lothian to discuss their requirements and to learn about the produce that is available locally.
Award winning chef Tom Lewis, of the Monachyle MHOR Hotel, will show how to add value to restaurant menus by using local products and produce.
Buyers will have the opportunity to speak directly with producers to learn more about their produce, linked with the Taste Challenge from Keith Marley, of La Potinière, we will demonstrate how local produce wins on taste differentiation.
For more information on attending the event or registering to exhibit, see www.freshprofiteastlothian.com.
