Fancy some Reekin Fat Hen or Mackerel Two Ways?
Renowned Edinburgh chef Mark Greenaway has created a menu that gives diners a taste of what Scottish cuisine was like in the 1500s.
Mark is whipping up dishes using locally sourced ingredients such as venison, oatmeal, wildflowers, forgotten herbs and Tennents beer aged with Whisky Oak.
He said: "As a Scottish chef, I love being challenged to find new and innovative ways to work with our nation's larder; it's not about reinventing the wheel, it's about reinterpreting it.
"Food and beer matching is growing in popularity but, up until now, no one has sought to delve so deeply into Scotland's past to rediscover the kind of flavours that would have originally been enjoyed with beer."
The recipes will be released online throughout 2015 and early 2016 with step-by-step guides and video demonstrations.
The release of the first dish will coincide with Whisky Month as part of Scotland's Year of Food and Drink.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
