• M E M O R I E S . We were due to return to magical Amisfield Walled Garden today for a special CGK pop-up, and would’ve been in the midst of juggling set up and final food prep, and enjoying the wonderful adrenaline boost it brings with it . So we’re looking back to last September when we had the most glorious weather for a long table feast, in collaboration with the super creative, talented and all-round-wonderful @al.macchiato 🥰. It was hard work - we had so many dishes, course after course! - and had its challenges (plating dessert in near darkness, with a single lantern 🤣) but it was a huge amount of fun and so memorable . A few snippets of those Amisfield Walled Garden memories in stories . #outdoordining #longtable #dreamylittleplaces

  • B R U N C H . Super late breakfast this morning, using loads of treats from the garden. We turned some of our recent haul of Purple Majesty potatoes into crispy fried rostis, served with garden courgettes grilled with summer savoury herb + a fried egg . #breakfastofchampions💪 #purplemajestypotatoes #growyourownveggies

  • F I N A L. T O U C H E S . It would’ve been Team CGK in their element today for the planned wedding at Ravensheugh Log Cabin. We’re missing that buzz & excitement of the push to get final things in place. Fast forward to this same Saturday next year and we’ll be making it an even bigger & better celebration for R&S 🎉🎉🎉 . Thanks to fabulous @zoevbrunner for this snap from one of last year’s brilliant weddings at Ravensheugh . #magicalwedding #eastlothianwedding #scottishwedding

  • U R B A N. L E G E N D . Nearly 12 years ago, while not-so-patiently waiting for our eldest to arrive as she was a week late, my sister called with a solution. Aubergine Parmigiana. Didn’t I know? Everyone knows it induces labour! . Apparently this advice originated from a restaurant near Atlanta, Georgia, which has an “eggplant baby” wall displaying photos of all the babies (~300!) that have made an entrance thanks to their version of this dish . Did it work it’s magic on me? Sadly not 🤣 (13 days overdue)... but it did taste blooming delicious . #aubergineparmigiana #thethingswedo #urbanlegends #aubergines #italianfordinner #homecookingrocks #inducinglabour #iloveeggplant #aubergineoreggplant #yousaytomato #slowfood #edinburgheats #whatsfordinnertonight #foodiefeature #scottishcaterer #edinburghdining #edinburghfood #edinburghfoodie #scottishfoodie #igersedinburgh #popupedinburgh #edinburghbloggers #foodphotography #scotlandsfinest #haddington #eastlothianfoodanddrink #eastlothian #eastlothianlife #eastlothianfoodie

  • T H E. S T A R T . Five years ago... at this time... we were rushing to get the kids to bed ridiculously early, as we were about to host our very first supper club . This was the table all set + ready. We’d moved all the furniture out of our living room to make space for 14 guests . We were so nervous... + SOOO disorganised (especially with the minis, who were then 2, 4 and 6 years old). But we loved every minute of it + suddenly our diary was filling up with supper club dates . For us, our main love was creating food that could be passed + shared + discussed, around a cosy communal table. Our plan for 2020 had been to bring CGK back to its roots - focusing on our veg garden to serve more of our own produce, and bringing back the smaller pop-up dining in our living room for a supper club series. We think that’s a long way off now but we’re hopeful that we can open our front door to guests again one day to share a meal . (We had to sift through some boxes and find an old external hard drive with photos from that first supper club. We’ll pop them on stories... they look so dated now but we love them - such good memories) . #foodiememories #supperclubs #popupdining #foodiefeature #edinburghfoodbloggers #eastlothian #eastlothianfoodie #popuprestaurant #joinourtable #lovefeedingpeople #makingmemoriestogether #prettylittleinspo #alliseeispretty #tablescape #prettytablesetting #twinklydinners #seasonaleating #eattheseasons #comfortfoodie #supportlocal #scottishcaterer #edinburghdining #edinburghfood #igersedinburgh #popupedinburgh #edinburghbloggers #foodphotography #scotlandsfinest #haddington #eastlothianlife

  • O L D I E. B U T. A. G O L D I E . This has been made by my mum since she cut it out of a magazine in 1971 . It’s a total corker... five ingredients (plus a thick layer of whipped cream for the top, if you like - I mean who wouldn’t?!) and takes about 15 minutes to throw in the oven. Gluten free too (and dairy free if you use super dark chocolate + opt out of the cream) . || 70s Chocolate Date Torte .

  • R E W I N D . This day last year... getting all set up to welcome guests to another pop-up . We miss all the fun that those pop-ups bring... . // finding out what’s available locally from producers (and in hedgerows and woods) + planning the menu // wiping down the old door that we use as a table, which we found in a skip + brought back to life to use as a table // ironing the table linen + polishing cutlery, both of which has family history or was given to us as a wedding present // choosing a mixed bag of canapé plates from the beautiful stash of vintage patterns that a close friend lent to us // picking fresh flowers from the garden that we feel so grateful to care for... . And even though it came with so many crazy late nights cooking, fitting it in round our three minis + a full time job for @mistercgk, all that was forgotten once people had arrived, hugged, chatted + enjoyed the food we had been discussing + planning for weeks... . And that’s what we really miss! Meeting so many lovely folk + feeding them 💗 . Also just so many laughs in the kitchen, leading up to it with just the two of us, and on the night with our wait staff - so much silliness + general hilarity . Taking this downtime to reflect on just how lucky we are + can’t wait til we welcome people again... . #oneyearon #popuprestaurant #joinourtable #lovefeedingpeople #makingmemoriestogether #prettylittleinspo #alliseeispretty #foodiefeature #tablescape #prettytablesetting #twinklydinners #popupdining #seasonaleating #eattheseasons #comfortfoodie #supportlocal #foodiefeature #scottishcaterer #edinburghdining #edinburghfood #igersedinburgh #popupedinburgh #edinburghbloggers #edinburghfoodbloggers #foodphotography #scotlandsfinest #haddington #eastlothian #eastlothianlife #eastlothianfoodie
