The Aga Shop celebrates its passion for fresh local ingredients with their local food producers

We were very pleased to recently host an open day dedicated to promoting the best of our local foods. The Aga Local Life campaign had arrived in Edinburgh!

Our demonstrator, Susan McGinty did us proud by cooking a diverse range of excellent dishes which all used ingredients from our various local producers. Some of the favourites of the day included; succulent roast leg of mutton, and a fragrant Moroccan lamb tagine. Mrs Hamilton Organics provided the delicious lamb and other meat while the freshest of vegetables came from Whitmuir Organics (both shops well worth a visit next time you are in the area!). Scotherbs provided fragrant, fresh herbs and also a selection of dressings and marinades.

Throughout the day we sold helium balloons in an effort to raise funds for the Edinburgh Sick Childrens Hospital. The balloons were released at the end of the day and a prize will be given to the person who returns the balloon that has drifted furthest afield – so watch this space!

On the 21st of September we took part in the Scottish Food Festival in Alva. With so many top Scottish producers in one area, it proved to be the ultimate spot to discover and showcase the fantastic produce in our region. Our stand was a popular stop-off point, with visitors sharing their Aga stories with us and enjoying the opportunity of tasting our delicious, traditional Aga baked goods.
