  1. Ghillie Basan - 'Food, Whisky, Life'

    5 NGÀY TRƯỚC

    Ghillie Basan - 'Food, Whisky, Life'

    Ghillie Basan is one of Scotland's most talented culinary champions. She's been called 'The Original Spice Girl' and a 'World Food Expert' but what comes across most when you meet this author of more than 50 books, mostly on food, is her irrepressible spirit and thirst for life. On a snowy day Rosalind went along to Ghillie's highland home to chat with her about her childhood in East Africa, creating a home from 300 year old ruins, raising a young family in difficult conditions, building a livelihood from her remote home and the challenges she's met along the way. They talk about her close relationship with her children both in work and play and why her latest  food book, 'Food, Whisky, Life', may be her last.  She tells Rosalind the rather incredible story of how she got her first break in journalism, why she doesn't eat in restaurants very much and how a little bit of love can go a long way in cooking. They also look to the future and the hopes and dreams she still holds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Scottish cider never looked brighter

    On this episode of Sran Rosalind is taking a deep dive into the world of Scottish Cider. As it continues to grow in popularity, Rosalind wanted to speak to some of the people who are the heart of the cider industry to see how their businesses are doing and what we can all look forward to. First up Rosalind speaks to Judith Gillies, who, with her husband Ron, runs Cairn o'Mohr winery in the Carse of Gowrie, Perthshire. Since 1987 they have been brewing up fruity award-winning wines and more recently, cider as they are based in an area famous for its apples, pears and plums.  Judith tells Rosalind how they got into the business, how it is changing and what their hopes for the future are. Rosalind also chats to Grant Hutchison and his wife Jaye about their store Aeble in Anstruther, Scotland’s first dedicated cider shop. Grant was previously the drummer in Frightened Rabbit who in recent years had turned his attention to cider. Now they are putting on their first cider festival, which is happening in Edinburgh at the end of the month. They tell Rosalind all about how Covid prompted their move to Fife and the store's opening, as well as how people's understanding and appreciation for cider is changing.  They also discuss their plans and hopes for the upcoming festival—one of the first of its kind for Scotland.

    Meeting the team behind the Royal Highland Show 2026

    Welcome to this special partner episode of Scran where we are looking forward to Summer, and more specifically Scotland's biggest gathering - The Royal Highland Show. Every year more than 200,000 people visit the show in Ingliston which has been running for more than 200 years now. Its popularity is testament to the huge amount of work and preparation that goes into putting on the show every year. I visited Ingliston to learn more about what that takes and what visitors can look forward to this year. First up Rosalind chats to Kaye Adams, Chair Designate of the show. To say the show has been a part of her life since she was born is an understatement, she's now risen up the ranks and in her current role is preparing for the top job. She tells Rosalind about her memories of the show growing up, its importance in the agricultural community calendar and how it's formed a significant part of her life. Rosalind also took a walk around the event site with Catriona Brown, Competition Manager for the show. Catriona is definitely a logistics person - thousands of visitors, animals and exhibitors all need to be looked after and that's part of her job. She fills Rosalind in on some of the tasks this includes and explains the sheer scale and effort of putting on a show of this size. Both Catriona and Kaye give Rosalind a flavour of what can be expected this year for old and new visitors alike. The Royal Highland Show takes place from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st of June. Early bird tickets are on sale now up until late April.  A new family ticket is also available this year which gives parents 20% of the standard entry free and remember, children 15 and under go free every day.

    The rise and rise of 'alcohol free'

    On this episode we're looking at going sober - yes it's all around us as Dry January takes hold and whilst it's not for everyone there is no denying it has become more and more popular in recent years. Rosalind speaks to two entrepreneurs about their alcohol-free businesses to hear more about this growing industry. First up she chats to Sonja Mitchell founder of Jump Ship brewing. A company born of a need for good quality, tasty, alcohol-free beer.  Sonja shares how she came to set up the business, the challenges and ire she has faced since then, as well as the huge opportunity she has grabbed and where she plans to go with it next. Rosalind  also spoke to Kate Kenyon, founder of Sobrbar in Aberdeen, the city's first alcohol-free bar.  Kate tells her how health challenges led to her giving up alcohol and how that, combined with a distinct lack of social spaces for those who prefer not to drink led to her opening the bar.  She too has faced unwarranted criticism but despite this she has found there to be a really positive appetite for the service. Happy New Year to all Scran listeners! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
