ESSENTIAL FOR

ALL KITCHENS

A good bought-in stock can

deliver great taste to a chefs

kitchen a substandard one can

destroy it. Having tasted Nigel Cranes Essential

Cuisine range at ScotHot this year we knew we had

to start stocking them. Low in fat (c.3%), low salt,

no preservatives, gluten free, no GM, no MSG, this

is the best range of stocks, glaces and jus we have found on the

market by a country mile. Try some and you’ll see the difference.

Third Generation Hotel Supplier

After a little bit of digging we can confirm 58 years ago, in 1953, The

Dixon Family first supplied the hotel industry. Andrew Dixon, father

to the current owner Neil and Grandfather to Jeremy, started

farming Turkeys, which he went on to supply to The Crieff Hydro and

Gleneagles amongst others. Co-Founder of The British Turkey

Federation and Chairman of The Aberdeen Angus Cattle Association,

Andrew sowed the seeds for the company you see today.

£30,000 for Maggies

Congratulations to Craig Wilson “the kilted chef” and his team, who

raised £30,000 for Maggie’s Centres and Breast Cancer Care, through

his exhausting challenge of

cooking in all 6 Scottish Cities in 24

hours. Craig raised some high

profile support with The First

Minister Alex Salmond,

accompanying him in his feat.
