Christmas Special 2022 part 2 - Ukrainian Christmas traditions, shaking up cocktails and saving our veggies
- last year
On the second bumper Christmas episode of Scran for 2022, we've got everything from cocktail making to veggie prep and gift ideas, as well as learning about some Ukrainian Christmas traditions .
First up Rosalind went along to the Hawksmoor in Edinburgh and spoke to Kyle Hamilton, the Assistant Bar Manager about some tips for Christmassy cocktails.
Nothing says Christmas quite like a great cheese board does it? When visiting South Lanarkshire recently, producer Kelly spoke to Selina Cairns of Errington Cheese about what to add to your cheese board this festive season.
On Tuesday the 19th of December Rosalind went along to Wellington Church in Glasgow where a special concert was being held by the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain, Glasgow Branch, to mark St Nicholas Day - a special day in the Ukranian calendar which sees boys and girls delivered gifts by Saint Nicolas. Rosalind spoke to Kateryna Campbell and Andriy about Ukrainian Christmas traditions and food. You'll also hear some lovely performances from the concert by members of the Ukrainian community performing the vertep (a traditional Ukrainian festive play) the Eastwood Choir conducted by Oksana Mavrodii and Bozhena who plays the traditional Ukrainian instrument, the bandura.
There's tips on how to cook our Christmas veggies from Tom Booth of the East Neuk Market Garden and Peter Crawford of sips champagne keeps us right with choosing some bubbles to go with the special occasion.
Finally, we hear from Rachel Rowley of Ballintaggart and the GrandTully Hotel in Perthshire about this foodie destination, the cook school she runs and the latest addition to the business: a shop which supplies some sumptuous-sounding Christmas hampers.
