Isle of Skye chef Calum Munro set to star in primetime cooking programme
Calum Munro, chef-owner of Scorrybreac Restaurant in Portree on the Isle of Skye, will be making his TV debut on BBC’s Great British Menu on Tuesday 11th February at 8pm on BBC Two and iPlayer. Calum will be representing Scotland in the twentieth season of the cooking show, alongside a line-up of exceptional Scottish culinary talent. Calum’s rivals include; Mark McCabe, head chef at Henrock by Simon Rogan; David Millar, executive chef at Jupiter Artland; and superyacht chef, Hannah Rose.
Calum Munro says:
“Taking part in Great British Menu this year has certainly been one of my career highlights so far. I’ve been a big fan of the show for as long as I can remember, and it’s been a real dream to have been asked to represent Scotland in its twentieth year and compete against some of the country’s top chefs. I’m up against some serious talent and I’m really looking forward to everyone at home watching my journey on screen.“This year’s brief is ‘Great Britons’, which was a lot of fun to work with – highlighting historical figures from Skye and across Scotland. I can’t wait for people to see my interpretation of the theme through the dishes I created, which champion the outstanding produce available to us around Scotland and the Hebrides.”
Wishing Calum the best of luck representing Skye at this prestigious event
