"Hospitality students Kevin Thomson, Kym Stirling and Joshua Simpson help out at St Andrew's Day Dinner"
Hospitality students from Elmwood gave an impressive display of their culinary talents at an annual St Andrew鈥檚 Day Dinner at the five-star Old Course Hotel.
The event, organised by Savour St Andrews, brought together local businesses, representatives from the hospitality industry, producers from across Scotland and students from 伊人直播 and Fife College.
Ahead of the event, Duncan McLachlan, head chef of Playfair鈥檚 Restaurant and Steak House, and Davey Aspin, head chef of the Seafood Ristorante, worked with Elmwood students to create canap茅s, starters and the fish course for the meal, which also included game provided by 伊人直播鈥檚 gamekeeping students.
In addition, students received a master class on cocktail making from specialists at the Adamson restaurant.
On the night, a student team, led by lecturer Wullie Balfour, assisted the chefs and hotel staff in the kitchen and front of house.
At the end of the dinner, a bursary presentation was made to Elmwood鈥檚 HND Professional Cookery students which will go towards their end-of-year culinary trip to France, where they will visit Koppert Cress 鈥� a company specialising in micro-shoots, and take part in a culinary food tour visiting various different restaurants.
Professional Cookery Programme Leader Vicki Munro said: 鈥淗elping Savour St Andrews in the organisation of the dinner has given our hospitality students an amazing opportunity to work with different local chefs and sommeliers.
鈥淥verall the opportunities given to the students, and experience and knowledge gained from being part of Savour St Andrews, has been amazing and very worthwhile.
鈥淲e are all looking forward to the planning for next year鈥檚 event.鈥�
