Four Highland chefs have been recognised for their outstanding culinary achievements.

Macdonald Drumossie Hotel sous chef David Macdonald was recently crowned 2015 Young Highland Chef of the Year and, in recognition of his achievement, Macdonald Hotels & Resorts founder and executive chairman Donald Macdonald recently presented him with a gift on behalf of the company.

Also singled out for recognition were head chef Euan Walker, who scooped the same accolade in 2011, and Macdonald Drumossie’s executive chef, Stewart MacPherson, who was warmly praised for his ability to train inexperienced recruits in the kitchen to become world-class craftsmen.

North Scotland executive chef Kenny McMillan was the fourth member of the chef team to receive recognition and a gift from the company, acknowledging his huge achievement in being named Scottish Executive Chef of the Year in 2015.

Commenting on their achievements, Macdonald Hotels & Resorts founder and executive chairman Donald Macdonald said: “We are very proud of our company-wide commitment to using only the finest ingredients.  This means that we only buy the best available beef, lamb, game and free range poultry and we only serve our customers wild fish.

“The opportunity to work with such excellent ingredients undoubtedly attracts the best in the country to work in our kitchens and their skills, whether creating a meal for two or a banquet for 400, are of a world-class standard.

“Training and developing young people in a professional and high quality environment is the lifeblood of our industry and, given the value of tourism to the UK and Scotland in particular, the quality and presentation of food is something we as a company put huge emphasis on.”
