Join us for a special cookery demonstration with celebrated Scottish home cook Ali Stoner (aka The Roving Haggis), as she introduces recipes from her brand new cookbook, Scran. A celebration of Scotland’s rich culinary heritage seen through a modern lens, Ali’s collection brings together more than 100 traditional recipes alongside creative new dishes that showcase the very best of Scottish ingredients.

Inspired by recipes handed down through generations, cherished bakery favourites and the comforting dishes of family kitchens, Scran captures the flavours, memories and traditions that have shaped Scottish cooking. From soups that warm against the winter cold and puddings that evoke childhood memories, to breads, bakes and hearty family meals, this is food rooted in nostalgia, storytelling and sharing around the table.

During the evening, Ali will demonstrate a selection of recipes from the book, revealing the techniques, ingredients and inspirations behind her modern interpretations of Scottish classics. Expect an evening that showcases Scottish food at its best.

Recipes being demonstrated:

Leek and Pork sausage Rolls

Tattie Scone Tacos with Gin and Tonic Pickled Onions

Malteser Tiffin

Mum's Shortbread with Whisky Caramel

What's included:

Refreshments on arrival and available throughout the class
Tasters from the demonstration for you to enjoy accompanied by a glass of wine or soft refreshments

10% discount on purchases made in store on the day of your class, including cookery classes. Excludes books, food, electrical items, gift vouchers and sale items

About

Ali Stoner or ‘Roving Haggis’ as she is known on social media, is a Scottish cook, previous Masterchef Australia contestant and social media influencer. Born in Glasgow, she currently lives in Melbourne, Australia with her husband, family and two dogs.

In early 2022, encouraged by her friends and family, she was finally tempted to stretch her cooking talents further and applied to be a contestant on Masterchef Australia. During her time on the show, her creativity and inventiveness were a stand out and the experience encouraged her to take her food journey further.

In May 2023, Ali launched her Instagram and presence under the Roving Haggis moniker and has seen her audience grow rapidly with a large global following, particularly in North America, Canada and of course Scotland and the UK.

We will become as flexible as possible, where we can to remove a specific ingredient from a student’s recipe we will but we are unable to remove that ingredient for every student attending.

We handle all types of ingredients in the kitchen at Divertimenti and we are not able to completely allergen free environment, our kitchen is multi-purpose therefore this makes our kitchen unsuitable for those with life- threatening allergies, in such cases as these we would suggest getting in touch with the team to arrange a private lesson in your own home with one of our chefs.
