Courgette & Wild Garlic Soup
At the farm shop, we’ve been experimenting with Venison & Wild Garlic Curry, Wild Garlic Butter, Mayonnaise and Pestos, as well as Wild Garlic Sausage Rolls - but one of our favourite dishes has been this Courgette and Wild Garlic soup. It’s quite quick to make, and makes a beautiful smooth and creamy green soup, with lovely added texture from the diced courgette. Get out foraging - the season for Wild Garlic runs till at least mid-May - and give it a go!
Deeside Landscapes by Allan Lawson
We are happy to host the Deeside Landscapes Exhibition, featuring the work of local artist Allan Lawson.
Born in Glasgow, quite a long time ago, the prize-winning painter, Allan Lawson, has lived in Finzean for 30 years, where he also has his studio.
Educated at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, he gained both post-graduate and Hospitalfield House Scholarships, also was awarded a Scottish Arts Council Residency to Orkney and an artist’s grant to help found his exhibition in London University.
Perhaps best known for his large lyrical abstract paintings, Allan also loved to paint local landscapes, particularly incorporating the River Dee. (Allan is a passionate fly fisherman and an accomplished salmon fly tyer.)
