Like to be beside the Seaside?

This week on the BBC’s Great British Menu, you’ll get to see Scottish chef, Kevin Dalgleish of Aberdeen’s Amuse restaurant, compete against his peers for the second year and guess who made his props?? Yes, that’s right, me! 
Do take the chance to watch the show if you can and see the props and their dishes in full glory. I don’t know how far he got in the competition (top secret!)
Next up, was the Fish course. So when you think fish, you think running, don’t you! This was inspired by the film “Chariots of Fire” running beach scene. 
Kevin wanted a model replica of the West Sands beach where it was filmed and I suggested tiny runners. So with a bit of artistic licence, a cannibalised tiny men model set, pebbles from my mum’s village river and various tiny sculpted 
molluscs, the beach platter came into being. I think this was my favourite. Even got a bit of North Sea murk into the resin surf. All the mussels you could want to keep your sole happy...it’s lemon sole geddit
Sorry, not sorry, the puns are too good not to use.
