Last night saw the opening of the Edinburgh Food Studio, a new venue combining a restaurant, culinary workshops and a food research base, created by my good friends Ben Reade and Sashana Souza Zanella. Over the past 6 months I've photographed them as they've worked day and night to build the studio from scratch, adding a serious amount of DIY knowledge to their already extensive culinary repertoire, and last night finally saw the fruits (and assorted veg and meats) of their labour open up to a captivated crowd of foodies, friends and curious passers-by. I'll post some photos of their progression from the beginning here soon, but for now here are some shots from last nights fun, including a hare skinning demonstration that was both fascinating and a little bit much for my vegetarian eyes.
