An Imagined Past

In this episode we travel to Scotland, where Anna joins chef and owner of Inver Restaurant, Pam Brunton, in the kitchen as she cooks classic Scottish dishes using pepper. Anna explores her own personal connection to Scotland and learns about the idea of landscape cuisine, an idea Pam coined and implements in her own approach to cooking. The two also explore the idea of imagined or created stories around place and space, in particular Scotland, that are used to sell an image rather than tell the story of the place itself, and often to great environmental detriment.
