Scotland’s Master Chef winner Gary Maclean presents the haggis.
An Arran-made ice cream found its way on to the prime minister’s annual Burns Supper menu last week in Downing Street. Cranachan ice cream from Brodick-based Arran Dairies was served up by Scotland’s BBC Master Chef winner Gary Maclean. Scots from a variety of business sectors, food and drink suppliers, educational institutions and politics joined Prime Minister Theresa May for the threecourse meal in celebration of Scotland’s national bard Robert Burns.
The dessert prepared by the head chef, who is also a senior lecturer at Glasgow City College, is the same one that impressed the judges during the cookery show. Mr Maclean said: ‘A Burns Supper is an institution in Scottish life and it’s wonderful to be able to be part of such a celebration of the works of our national bard in Downing Street.’ Mr Maclean’s dessert was a chocolate pistachio, Drambuie and raspberry shortbread, with Arran Dairies’ Cranachan ice cream.
