Chefs in Britain have raised £30,000 to support their industry during the pandemic.

More than £30,000 was raised during last week's Master Chefs of Great Britain Annual Fundraising Lunch at Gleneagles Hotel to support young chefs and apprentices in the hospitality industry. A range of items were up for auction, such as fine dining experiences in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Perthshire; a signed guitar by Sharleen Spiteri from rock band Texas; and a framed work by artists The Connor Brothers. George McIvor, chairman of the Master Chefs of Great Britain, shared his gratitude for the "incredible generosity of our friends, members, and guests" and emphasized how the amount raised would help "enthusiastic young people to realise their potential and support them as they embark on their hospitality careers."

Simon Attridge, executive chef at Gleneagles, prepared a menu featuring Scottish seafood, oak-smoked salmon, Yorkshire rhubarb, and wild Highland venison. Students from South Lanarkshire College were also present to prepare and serve canapés at the event. The Master Chefs of Great Britain provides assistance to colleges and apprentices in the form of funding for courses and training sessions like its recent seafood skills masterclass, which offered demonstrations by Michelin-stared chefs to a total of 210 students and apprentices from Scotland. Scottish Field's food and drink pages, in association with Cask & Still magazine, cover more news and reviews on the subject. Additionally, readers should not miss Blair Bowman's whisky column in the April issue of Scottish Field magazine.
