SCOTLAND’S national chef and MasterChef champion has been appointed food ambassador for the Scottish Salmon Company (SSC).
Gary Maclean — MasterChef: The Professionals winner — who has taught at City of Glasgow College for more than 17 years, and is called ‘MacChef’ by his students, will represent the SSC’s focus on health and wellbeing.
Maclean has previously worked with the SSC on developing recipes with City of Glasgow College students.
In his new role with SSC, Maclean will continue to create new recipes using sea loch fresh Scottish salmon, as well as educating Scottish people to use salmon when cooking. All of the recipes created with Maclean will be available on the SSC website.
Maclean said: “I’m passionate about cooking with local produce from the great Scottish larder, especially salmon.”
Craig Anderson of the SSC said: “Gary’s passion for quality and provenance perfectly mirrors our core values and we are excited to be working closely with him.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
