Julie Linn Inspired Supper Club

Dinner is our love language!

Lindsay and I share a love for all things food & want to share our passion for cooking by feeding you all. We’re hoping to bring a series of supper clubs to the lovely folks of the Highlands inspired by chefs and cookbooks that inspire us.

Be prepared to connect with those sitting around you as you enjoy an evening of long table feasting. Chat, connect, share stories and dig into a feasting table of food!

We’ll keep the menu a surprise for the evening but trust us, you’ll be in for a treat.

This time we’re taking your tastebuds to Malaysia with a wee Scottish twist. Flavourful, vibrant plates – expect aromatic spices, a hint of coconut & of course, sambal. Inspired by the female Scottish-Malaysian chef, Julie Linn, it’ll be a delicious evening of Malaysian home comfort food.
