ScotFood 3 February 2014 - Orkney & Shetland

Pencil this date in your diary! I am delighted to announce that I am one of the hosts for the second #ScotFood Twitter chat of 2014 on Monday 6 February from 9 – 10 pm.

The #ScotFood Twitter Chats were established in June 2013 by Susan McNaughton (@SusanMcNaughton) in her role as social media manager for the Crail Food Festival, and in consultation with Christopher Trotter (@CTScotFood), Fife’s Food Ambassador.

The idea behind the chats is to provide a regular meet up between foodies, food producers, chefs, restaurants, cafés and anyone with an interest in promoting or consuming Scottish Food and Drink.

Joining in the chat provides you with new ideas, allows you to meet new people who share your interests, and to discover more about our abundant Scottish larder.

A different region of the country provides the hosts each month, allowing others to discover more about regional differences as well as seasonal specialities.

All you need to join in is a Twitter account, and to tag your tweets #ScotFood. Photo sharing is welcome throughout the chat – the more the better! Just tag your photo #ScotFood or use it to answer one of the questions. Be sure to check out the Orkney and Shetland Pinterest board with links to local producers and foodies.

Follow the hosts for #ScotFood chat to see the questions being tweeted out. This month’s hosts are:
