A chef from Oban has represented Scotland on the popular Great British Menu TV show.
Graham Campbell, 32, was one of the youngest chefs ever to be awarded a Michelin star when he worked for the Ballachuilish Country House Hotel, aged 25.
Now Mr Campbell, who works for the Glenesk Hotel, Edzel, has a taste for stardom after appearing on the BBC program.
The winners of the competition, where chefs from all over Britain create dishes to be included on the menu at a special banquet for the Women’s Institute, will not be revealed until the show airs later this summer.
Mr Campbell has worked at prestigious hotels and restaurants all over Britain during his career, which started at the Caledonian Hotel in Oban.
He said: “The Great British Menu was the hardest thing I have ever done. It was harder than being in any kitchen because it was so intense. You are out of your comfort zone.
“There are 25 people constantly watching you, between five and seven cameras on you and people asking questions all the time while you cook.
“It was a lot of pressure but the experience was really good. I would like to do it again. As far as I’m aware the show is going to be really funny. It is going to keep people entertained.
“I loved it, I would love to do more TV.”
The program on BBC 2 will show chefs fight it out for the chance to cook at a glorious banquet marking 100 years of the Women’s Institute.
The challenge is produce 21st century dishes that honour the custodians of first class home cooking, and pay tribute to the generations of women who have helped make Britain the great culinary nation it is today.
The chefs have taken inspiration from the women in their families – their mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers – and the pioneering women of the Institute, to turn home-cooked classics, into modern masterpieces.
The regional heats will see all of the chefs’ dishes scrutinised by Britain’s most accomplished chefs and veterans of the competition.
