FOOD TRAVELOGUE ROUND SCOTLAND WILL TEMPT THE TASTE BUDS OF VIEWERS

TO NELL AND BACK IN SEARCH OF FINE FOODS: The title of Scottish TVs “The Woman Who Ate Scotland” conjures up many images so it was a relief to find out it was actually a show about food.

The eight-part series sees internationally renowned foodie, Nell Nelson cycle around parts of Scotland uncovering some hidden gastronomic delights.
Nell was born in Scotland and has recently returned after a ten-year spell writing and eating in China.
Described as a travelogue/food series, the show began last Thursday with Nell exploring the Cairngorm mountains and River Spey, tucking into porridge and Cullen Skink, a hearty soup which originates in the fishing village of Cullen in Morayshire.
This week, Nell sets off from the remote Applecross Inn, where the previous evening she went to bed on a full stomach of fresh prawns.
She then tackles the famously narrow and treacherous road called the Pass of the Cattle and arrives in Mallaig to sample some fresh herring, caught earlier that day.
The seafood theme continues as Nell heads out to sea in search of some fresh prawns and crab, which are the key ingredients for supper that evening – a mouth watering seafood chowder.
Not only does the series give great ideas for new dishes, it also provides a history of area she visits and there are some beautiful scenic views.
Later in the series, Nell will be venturing far and wide to tempt her taste buds.
She travels to Loch Fyne to tuck into some oysters then to the east coast for further seafood sampling. She also pays a visit to the garlic growers home on the Moray Coast.
