Stuart Ralston’s mind does not rest, this much is clear.
His debut cookbook, Catalogues Ideas and Random Thoughts, is beautifully bound with a fabric ochre spine and a butter-hued elastic band, and it contains some of the acclaimed chef’s most in-depth and carefully tested recipes from his 20-year career.
The book may be a catalogue of ideas, but his random thoughts are neatly sectioned into seven chapters: the first three, labelled NYC, Aizle and Noto, mark significant moments in his culinary life; another chapter is dedicated to recipes for staff tea, and the remaining three to condiments, oils and bread.
In true Ralston form, every recipe demands time, full attention and upmost dedication. Take the potato dauphine with miso mustard mayo where, even although it was concocted as a bar snack at Noto, the high skill and standards required to deliver this dish are clear. At first glance, it contains four ingredients with a method spanning just three lines, but overleaf Ralston breaks down every element of those four ingredients so that everything is made from scratch. No cutting corners here.
The same goes for his staff tea recipes, such as his prosciutto and tomato herb tart, which would be worthy of any high-end restaurant given the time and skills required to create it.
The book will appeal to professional chefs who want to test their skills and stretch their abilities, but also to those who might be considering their own restaurant journey.
As the book traces Ralston’s evolution from chef to restaurateur, it gives useful insights and tips into the leaps and steps he made to get to where he is.
The chef says the book took him two years’ work, and its launch coincides with the opening of Ralston’s fourth restaurant in Edinburgh, Lyla. According to him, the book took twice as long to compile as it did to launch Lyla.
Chef, restaurateur, and now perhaps mentor, Ralston’s devotion to food percolates out of the pages and is an exciting insight into this Scottish chef’s talent and mind.

A very sought after wine. Deep, intense almost inky in colour. A beautiful nose packed full of ripe cherries and sweet baking spice.. The palate is intense with a great grip to it, smoked plums, forest fruits and a balancing meaty earthiness.

Enjoy a beautiful week at Gylly Beach, Cornwall during the off peak season. If it's a balmy beach escape you crave, you can't get much closer to the sand than Gylly. Located opposite Falmouth's wonderful sheltered beach Gyllyngvase, and boasting never ending views over the sparkling sea, this high-spec abode is part of the brand new Liner development. Occupying the fourth floor of the development with a commanding view over the bay, small families, couples or a group of friends will love the proximity to the soft sand and cosmopolitan buzz of Falmouth.

Start the day with awe-inspiring views and dip in and out of the water as you please; Gylly really is a bay-dreamers paradise.
Designer interiors and breathtaking seascapes combine at Gylly. Inspired by the prow of a ship breaking through the waves, the exterior of the Liner development reflects the maritime spirit of Falmouth, setting the seaside tone of your escape. Inside the bespoke beachfront apartment, lead left into the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, where all eyes are drawn to the incredible panoramic sea view, framed by full height glass doors that open out onto the private balcony. Guests will adore breakfast on the balcony as the sunrises over Gylly, making silhouettes of the early morning paddleboarders. Whilst after a day of coastal adventures around Falmouth and beyond, the stylish modern kitchen and soothing living area provide a relaxed setting in which to enjoy each other's company. Gems Interiors have also worked their magic in the two beautifully curated bedrooms, creating blissful pockets of Zen with gorgeous designer textiles, coastal inspired artwork and subtle tropical details.

Stuart Ralston’s mind does not rest, this much is clear.
His debut cookbook, Catalogues Ideas and Random Thoughts, is beautifully bound with a fabric ochre spine and a butter-hued elastic band, and it contains some of the acclaimed chef’s most in-depth and carefully tested recipes from his 20-year career.
The book may be a catalogue of ideas, but his random thoughts are neatly sectioned into seven chapters: the first three, labelled NYC, Aizle and Noto, mark significant moments in his culinary life; another chapter is dedicated to recipes for staff tea, and the remaining three to condiments, oils and bread.
In true Ralston form, every recipe demands time, full attention and upmost dedication. Take the potato dauphine with miso mustard mayo where, even although it was concocted as a bar snack at Noto, the high skill and standards required to deliver this dish are clear. At first glance, it contains four ingredients with a method spanning just three lines, but overleaf Ralston breaks down every element of those four ingredients so that everything is made from scratch. No cutting corners here.
The same goes for his staff tea recipes, such as his prosciutto and tomato herb tart, which would be worthy of any high-end restaurant given the time and skills required to create it.
The book will appeal to professional chefs who want to test their skills and stretch their abilities, but also to those who might be considering their own restaurant journey.
As the book traces Ralston’s evolution from chef to restaurateur, it gives useful insights and tips into the leaps and steps he made to get to where he is.
The chef says the book took him two years’ work, and its launch coincides with the opening of Ralston’s fourth restaurant in Edinburgh, Lyla. According to him, the book took twice as long to compile as it did to launch Lyla.
Chef, restaurateur, and now perhaps mentor, Ralston’s devotion to food percolates out of the pages and is an exciting insight into this Scottish chef’s talent and mind.

An incredible wine regularly used at Michelin starred Restaurant Pine.
Logodaj Winery use the rare, native Early Melnik grape grown in the sandy soils of Bulgaria's Struma Valley for their Melnik 55. Grapes go through pre-cold maceration for 4-5 days to retain natural freshness and fragrance. Fermentation then continues at higher temperatures before spending 12 months in barrique for malolactic fermentation.
This magnum sized bottle of Melnik 55 is intense ruby in colour with violet reflections. The nose shows scents of fresh cherry alongside spicy notes and sweet vanilla from the wood. The palate has great balance and elegance, with an enveloping taste, silky soft tannins, and a rich and persistent finish. Try with slow roasted meats or vegetables, stews, or blue cheeses.
Logodaj Winery was established in 1994 and is situated in the very heart of the picturesque Struma valley. It is the sunniest and the hottest part of Bulgaria with long traditions in winemaking. .Broad Leaved Melnik and Early Melnik Vine grape varieties thrive here, and are only grown in this part of the world.

Step into the spirit of Northumbria with a guided tour of Ad Gefrin, England’s most northerly whisky distillery. Discover the ancient stories from our Anglo-Saxon heritage, explore the alchemy behind every drop, and see where tradition meets innovation in the heart of Wooler.
Your journey begins with a behind-the-scenes look at our state-of-the-art distillery, where our skilled team brings our whisky to life through modern distillation. Learn how we source, mill, ferment, distill, mature our whisky, and why every detail matters.
The tour culminates in our beautiful 360 immersive tasting room, where you'll be invited to sample a curated selection of Ad Gefrin spirits. From our Tácnbora blend to Flýte our whisky cream liquor. Whether you’re a whisky connoisseur or a curious newcomer, the Ad Gefrin experience is a toast to the past and a sip of the future.
Tácnbora
In the 7th century, the Tácnbora—the standard bearer—preceded King Edwin on his journeys, heralding the arrival of Northumbrian royalty. As we breathe new life into their story, it felt only right to name Ad Gefrin’s first blend after this noble figure, while patiently awaiting the unveiling of our Single Malt.
Tácnbora is a blend of quiet strength and depth, bringing together Irish grain whiskey with Scottish grain and malt whiskies. These elements represent two of the four ancestral roots of the peoples who forged the Kingdom of Northumbria. Finished with additional wood enhancement in our Northumbrian heartland, this evocative spirit is a true expression of place, time, and legacy at the very soul of Ad Gefrin.
Tasting Notes
Tácnbora is aged in ex-bourbon, virgin, American oak, and oloroso sherry casks, creating a distinctive and palatable spirit.
Nose: Honey, candied citrus peel, vanilla, cherries.
Palate: Vanilla, cream soda, sultanas, nutmeg.
Finish: Sweet citrus, vanilla and honey.
Bottled at 42.7% for balance and flavour.

Enjoy a Cambridge negroni on arrival with a fantastic tasting menu and signature wine pairing at Michelin starred Restaurant 22 in Cambridge.
Restaurant Twenty-Two is the debut restaurant of husband and wife team, Sam Carter and Alex Olivier. The lovingly restored Victorian townhouse backs onto the River Cam and Jesus Green and is home to exciting, modern British dining. The menu changes often depending on what seasonal produce our Cambridgeshire partners have delivered. Our wine list is diverse and designed to perfectly complement the bold flavours on the menu. The restaurant was awarded 3 AA Rosettes in September 2022 and it’s first Michelin Star in March 2023.
The restaurant occupies a quaint Victorian heritage house, with stained glass windows nestled into its brickwork that date back to 1892. Located in a historic corner of Cambridge, just off the River Cam on Jesus Green, the restaurant is in the perfect location for a leisurely lunch after a stroll (or punt!).
By night, its atmospheric candlelit dining rooms offer a special space to enjoy inventive yet fulfilling food for all occasions.
Sam’s menu is inspired by his many years working at Michelin level at some of the country’s top restaurants (Hambleton Hall and Maze by Gordon Ramsay to name only two). But the real inspiration comes from the ingredients delivered each day. We use the best local suppliers and present a regularly changing menu that reflects the most seasonal produce the area has to offer.

British tasting menu experience from Chef and Sommelier team, Joshua and Victoria Overington.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Hovingham amongst the rolling Howardian hills of North Yorkshire, Mýse celebrates the ancient North Yorkshire terroir surrounding the restaurant, drawing on the area’s rich history with Joshua’s elegant spin on traditional Yorkshire cooking.
Named after the Anglo-Saxon word for ‘eating at the table’, ‘Time and Place’ shape the menus, with the ingredients and flavours unique to our location and available to us on each individual day dictating the produce-driven style of cooking.
Joshua and his team champion the very best small-scale producers and farmers in Yorkshire and beyond in the British Isles, with regenerative farming and sustainability at the heart of everything we do.
Our team forage, ferment and infuse to create our cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks to complement the menu. Locally-reared meats are dry-aged and cured in-house as well as home-made charcuterie. Bespoke tableware is handmade for the restaurant, drawing inspiration from Victoria’s family home on the Jurassic Coast to enhance and celebrate our dishes.

Alchemilla is the first venture by Alex Bond. Opened back in August 2017 the restaurant attracted the likes of Grace Dent and The Good Food Guide pretty early on. Alchemilla went on to be awarded it’s first Michelin star in 2019 and currently has four Rosettes in The AA Guide. If you’re unfamiliar with Alex’s style of cooking you can expect big yet balanced flavours. Koji, fermentation and pickling play a part across the whole menu.

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
