Paulipocketeats

7 months of seasonal dishes using some of the best produce from Mulls larder. It's too hard to choose a favourite!

The local businesses, suppliers & producers have been an absolute pleasure to work with! The addition of homegrown salad & herbs picked from the kitchen garden - what a season it's been 👩🏽‍🍳🧡💫

Sunday Roasts ✨️

Ending the season with hearty plates of roasted goodness. Nothing better on a Sunday 🧡
Each week was a different protein sourced directly from Mull & Iona. We started with Glengorm Beef followed by Sgriob-ruadh Pork Belly then Lamb Shanks finishing with Iona Hogget! Served with all the trimmings! Delicious!

It's something I absolutely love to cook and eat so it was a pleasure sharing this with our guests! Snuggles on the sofa with the pups is the only thing on the agenda after this!

Tucked into a deliciously fresh & flavoursome tasting menu yesterday evening - a special treat for our lovely right hand woman, Sue, who turned 60 this week 💎

My two fave dishes - Monfish with an XO sauce & Glengorm lamb! Both showcasing an excellent use of local produce 👏🏽

The XO sauce combined some of my favourite ingredients and had a punch of unami with the addition of scallop roe which gave it an extra depth - moreish!!

Cute candlelit vibe overlooking Tobermory Harbour. I particularly loved all the crockery 😍

Thanks to & the team for looking after us 🥰✨️

4 months on Mull - that went FAST! Been a bit MIA lately but here's a round up of some island eats we've been enjoying on days off 😍🙌🏽

1. The BEST 🍕 from - if you visit Iona, Ailidh is NOT to be missed!
2. Our go to brunch spot - weekly changing menu with all day brunch and lunch plus yummy home bakes! We usually order 3 or 4 dishes from the menu to share and roll out...
3. Lobster rolls 🦞 from .piece.box - their homemade brioche rolls are divinely soft and fluffy!
4. Sunday roast from - the best roast I've had on the island, not to forget the VIEWS! Gutted we can't visit for dinner due to similar business hours.
5. The ultimate sausage rolls from - even better enjoyed with a coffee and view over Loch Buie after we've taken Pinot for a sea dip!
6. Smoked salmon & trout 🐟 from - I use their produce in a number of dishes & the treats Sally makes up at local markets is always a grab & go treat!
7. Coffee & weekly changing home baked goods at .glass.barn.mull.cheese - a special spot on the island ✨️!
8. Takeaway bunch at - perfectly cooked poachies & that hollandaise...
9. Good old pub grub at our local 🍻
10. The best fish & chips on the island

Island life has been treating us well so far! Lots more places still to check off the list 🤤

Seafood lover cooking with some mighty fine Scottish seafood - fresh, local & bloody delicious 🦞💙! Aren't we lucky to have all the good stuff on our doorstep!

1. Lobster & harissa butter with venison loin, romesco & salad
2. Fresh lobster live 'n' kicking
3. Cold seafood platter
4. Local mussels
5. Mahoosive large lango
6. Scallops, crab bisque, ginger spring onion oil
7. Miso & white wine mussels & clam with cod
8. Halibut, brown butter savoy cabbage & samphire, crushed tatties & creamy miso sauce
9. Smoked rainbow trout, caper gremolata & trout tartar

Happy Easter 🐣💛... What an amazing end to a crazy productive and successful few weeks!

A well deserved day off spent exploring some of the island in the spring sunshine & soaking up all that's happened this month! It's been a happy blur of time that's flown in but I'm ecstatic to have made many bellies very satisfied! I'm in a very happy bubble right now and extremely grateful to people who support me doing something I love!

Last weekend was spent at cooking up a feast for Mora & Mike's lovely retreat goers ✨️ - breakfast, lunch & dinner for 16 hungry bellies in a stunning, newly renovated space in Kingussie! Had a ball 🥳

Straight back to Mull to finalise menus & open the restaurant at for a busy Easter weekend. Lots of the good kinda nerves (a little imposter syndrome) but we survived our first week of service! Chaos and teething issues along the way, of course 👀 but we're looking forward to a busy new venture on the Isle of Mull. If you're visiting the island, please shout 🥰

Christmas dinner version 2023 🎄🎅🫶... Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with your loved ones 💕

This year ft.
- Seared King Scallops with Crab Bisque & Crab Cocktail Rolls

Last night we had friends over for dinner & I cooked an Asian themed roast with Gochujang beef brisket stealing the show. It was lush with lots leftover for today 😍
Tonight we feasted on bao filled with a roasted garlic sesame slaw & gochujang beef brisket which was even better after a night of marinating in all its juices 🤤

A tweaked recipe - 'Slow-cooker gochujang short ribs'...
I used beef brisket and swapped out the rice vinegar and star anise for a rich fruity cider and mixed spice! It's a winner!

Haribo themed birthday cake with a few retro additions 🎂🍬🍭

Last weekend, I catered for a lovely group of ladies gathering for a retreat at 💫
My heart is always so full after a weekend retreat 🥰! Not only did I fuel these women with nutritiously tasty food, but I was welcomed into their circle and joined their evening plans feeling part of the retreat itself 🤍
It was an absolute pleasure cooking up a full GF vegan menu 🌱✨️

I haven't been cooking anything exciting recently as I've been spending a majority of my time with this wee fluffball 🐶💕
I've been checking out dog friendly pubs around the city (thanks for all your reccos) & wee Pinot is definitely loving all the extra cuddles & treats! Will 100% be back to all the places we've been so far!

📍 - the home of the biggest nachos in the city - Pinot's first pub visit and she fell asleep within 20 mins 😂
📍 - our local, Pinot met fellow furry locals and got lots of snuggles!
📍 - hidden in the corner, Pinot was very comfortably sprawled out as we had our catch up pints!
📍 - Sunday roasting!! Super cute & cosy pub in Portobello with very decent pub grub. Pinot had her first taste of Guinness 👀 Will definitely be back!
Retreat this weekend so planning and prepping is well underway - more foodie content coming 👩🏽‍🍳

Back to it with some new dishes!

Too pretty to eat? Not quite 👀😆
Back to the stunning
estate for a weekend in one of my favourite kitchens 🥰! Days spent cooking up vibrant, flavoursome but more importantly, nourishing sharing tables 🌈 (with a wee furry friend for company at the window 🥜). To have people leave feeling satisfied, nourished & inspired makes me question why I ever doubted myself to become a full time chef! I love what I do!
Another dreamy retreat in the bag with a soul sista 👯🏽‍♀️✨️... The space this one creates can't be summed up in words. I even found the time to take part in some Yoga Nidra 🧘🏽‍♀️! I'm so grateful to team up with Katie to make people feel all the scrumptious goodness from the inside out 💕
Until next time... Very excited about all the ideas flying around after this retreat 😏

A furry baby with tastebuds like her mammy - Pinot's first taste of scallops! Of course, she loved them 🐶💕

Treated ourselves to a wee seafood dinner. Started with brown butter scallops, succotash & romesco followed by lobster and chips 🦞🍟

Who needs to go out when you can dine in 🤷🏽‍♀️

A very special birthday cake 🎂👧🏽 ft. Pinot & Pesto 🐶💕!
