Back to school for top chef

A FORMER catering student is returning to her roots to take part in a food festival organised by her former college.

Several chefs will appear at The Food Festival, to be held at Edinburgh's Jewel & Esk College on 24 April, including Fiona Burrell.

The event is being held in partnership with Queen Margaret University, which Ms Burrell attended back in 1974 when it was Queen Margaret College.

Ms Burrell, who now runs the New Town Cookery School, said: "It's great to be involved with QMU in this way.

"I have very special memories of my time at the old Queen Margaret College and there is no doubt that the education I received there gave me a solid foundation for my career in food.

"The Food Festival is an exciting proposition and something that I would have loved to have been involved with when I was a student myself."
