Partnership between a Chef and a distillery

Sarah Rankin, a MasterChef 2022 finalist, has partnered with Benromach Distillery to create a unique collection of recipes; celebrating the art of cooking using locally-sourced, high-quality ingredients.

As well as getting a firsthand insight into how she handcrafts her recipes, foodies can now access and recreate Sarah’s Benromach menu, which features several easy-to-replicate dishes featuring two of the distillery’s most popular expressions: Benromach 15 Year Old and Benromach Peat Smoke.

Those with a savoury palate are expected to love her take on trout cured with Benromach Peat Smoke and her Arbroath Smokie croquettes and those with a sweet tooth can indulge in a lemon posset with white chocolate crumb or a classic chocolate cherry pot with a splash of award-winning Benromach 15 Year Old.

The collaboration between Sarah and Benromach seems to be a natural pairing, with the MasterChef alumni previously working as a demonstrator at the distillery when it was reopened by Gordon & MacPhail in 1998. Today, Sarah celebrates Scotland’s artisan producers in her food writing, Chef demonstrations, private dining and food festival appearances.
