Stirring it up with Andi and Miquita Oliver

Taste and Tides - Aberdeen's Flavourful Frontiers


Listen Later

Andi and Miquita’s Scottish journey washes ashore in Aberdeen, where they discover a city balancing urban sophistication with rugged coastal charm. Their first port of call is Mara, where Ross and Carolina Cochrane are redefining local fare. Here, they savour a parade of dishes that sing with Scottish produce and Italian flair, challenging notions of traditional Scottish cuisine.


The duo then ascends to Greyhope Bay, where Dr Fiona McIntyre's grassroots project has breathed new life into a historic defence battery. This community-driven initiative offers more than panoramic views of the North Sea; it's a testament to Aberdeen's commitment to sustainable development and shared heritage.


From city centre to seafront, this episode unveils Aberdeen's multifaceted personality. Andi and Miquita's explorations reveal a place where innovation and tradition intertwine, and where the community's voice shapes the narrative. Their experiences at Mara and Greyhope Bay showcase a city confidently charting its course between honouring its past and embracing a promising future.
