The Chef Lee Beale in 3 questions
Describe your cooking style !
My cooking style is classical French using the best of highland ingredients, with some modern influences. I like to cook every thing from scratch so I am able to develop the natural flavours. I also like keeping dishes as simple as possible so that the quality produce shines through.
What are your favourite 3 ingredients and why ?
Vanilla pods - the most fragrant of ingredients which lifts so many sweet and savoury dishes
Yeast - as keen bread maker fresh yeast has a real organic quality and is always a joy to work with
Shellfish - I love all types of shell fish and using west coast shellfish is a real treat and challenges you to give it justice
Why are you a private Chef ?
As a chef of more than 25 years, mostly in restaurants and hotels, I really enjoy the freedom of private dining. I love the interaction you have with the diners, seeing how they enjoy their experience.
