Our first order!! 30k of venison mince and 10k diced shoulder. The customer wanted 15% pork fat added to the mince which we got from just a few miles from Muir Estate.

Obviously this is not all of it!! 😂

Rock Cottage is almost done!! A few door handles, carpet to go down on the stairs and top 2 bedrooms (which we were lucky to get as Carpetright as you know have folded!), couple of mirrors, a few doors to shave the bottoms off and that’s it….sounds a lot but not really. We should be completely finnished in a week. 🤞 Here is a sneaky peak… If any one knows a family wishing to rent long term in Callander…. ☎️

What a fabulous bunch of guests we had this past week, 4 generations of a family travelled from Scotland, England, Singapore, South Africa and Australia for a post wedding celebration and a family get together. Muir Estate is the perfect setting for such an occasion. Cathy and her family kindly sent me their pictures so I could use, as I never have time to photograph my food when I’m doing a Chef & Shepherd Supper! We were thrilled to cook for them and we’re also glad they used all the facilities, pizza oven, hot tub, BBQ, our catered evening and fun was had taking part at the on-site clay pigeon shooting, maybe not the best shots were had, but much fun! We hope to see them again! Thank you!!!

Muir Estate Wild Roe Buck. I’m really pleased with this butchery. 2 tenderloin fillets, 2 legs and a shoulder that I’ve taken the meat off to grind into mince, 2 pencil fillets, the whole neck and some meat from the ribs. It was a satisfying morning. Can’t wait to sell this succulent lean prime meat to our guests and the public. Generator is arriving in 4 weeks, we need a visit from the Coucil, and licences issued. Not long to go….. For now, it’s all for us!!! 😋

Post Wedding C&S Supper. What a lovely evening! As usual time got away from us and we didn’t manage to photograph all the food so some are old pics.

Pre-Starter: Celeriac veloute and croutons

Starters: Orkney Scallops, Vegan Sweet Potato Tikki, Steak Tartar

Main: Braised Wild Venison Haunch, Stuffed Aubergines, Lamb Rack

Pre-Pudding: Homemade Raspberry Sorbet with champagne

Pudding: Green & Blacks Chocolate Cheesecake, Madagascan Vanilla Crème Brûlée, Brandy Snaps

The meat was from Falleninch farm just a few miles away and was delicious! I changed the sides for the lamb from the wintery roast tatties, parsnips and carrots to spring and summery balsamic roast peppers, steamed asparagus, onion rice and a chilli lamb jus. The sorbet was amazing with the help of my Ninja CREAMi, why have I not made this before!!

Thank you Cathy and family, it was lovely to cook for all of you!

Scallops as a main…yum! Not available on Chef & Shepherd’s menu but I’m sure if you asked I would do it!

Scallops, a favourite from the days and definitely a favourite on Chef & Shepherd’s menu available at Muir Estate. This was a dish I altered for a guest who didn’t like black pudding so I did a seared mini cauliflower steak, garlic cauliflower purée and crispy Serrano ham. Oh…and the pan fried Orkney Scallop!
