Chef Anne Anderson Chef Anne Anderson learned a passion for food from her Italian-American grandmother, who handed down to her the cherished art of Mediterranean home cooking. This classic culinary foundation enabled her to break into the competitive New Orleans restaurant scene, adding Creole, Cajun and French cuisines to her repertoire. She then moved to Philadelphia, where she worked with celebrity chef, Jack McDavid, later immersing herself in the city's rich array of Asian cooking. The Highlands have opened up a new world of indigenous ingredients from which she now creates some of Britain's most exciting, yet accessable, borderless cuisine. When not cooking, she knits, sews, paints, designs and dotes on her family.
