In Autumn 2022 I worked with Optompen Television as a Shooting PD on VT’s for Series 19 of the BBC Two professional cooking competition, Great British Menu.
Hosted by award-winning TV Chef and Broadcaster, Andi Oliver, Great British Menu sees top chefs from across the UK put their hearts on a plate and showcase amazing culinary talent.
I produced, directed and shot a number of packages for Optomen, introducing chefs representing Scotland and the inspiration for some of the dishes on their banquet menus. Travelling all over Scotland, this includes Ajay Kumar, Chef Owner of Swadish in Glasgow; Calum Montgomery, Chef Patron of Edinbane Lodge on the Isle of Skye; Kevin Dalgleish, Chef Patron of Amuse in Aberdeen; and David Millar, Head Chef at Jupiter Artland near Edinburgh.
