We have created private dining and event experiences at residences and luxury holiday homes across Europe; Corsica, Mallorca, Champagne, the French Alps and back home at Torosay Castle on the Isle of Mull, Invercauld Castle in Royal Deeside and at luxury country lodges throughout Scotland.

Special Elements...

The Elemental Kitchen is also available for special projects. For example we created a range of freezer meals and developed menus for a visitor attraction on the West Coast of Scotland.

With our sister studio, Acoustic Wave, we provide events styling, entertainment and coordination - launches, weddings, retreats, industry away days.

We showcase locally-sourced ingredients at our Acoustic Wave Cafe events and we are always delighted to help clients create memorable experiences during holidays and special occasions.

Fine food from land & sea...

Based in St Monans, a pretty fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, The Elemental Kitchen enjoys access to a treasure trove of fresh ingredients - freshly caught fish from the waters outside our home, meat from the acclaimed local butcher Penmans of Crail, vegetables picked daily from The Ardross Farm, Pittenweem Oatcakes, Anster Cheese from St Andrews Farmhouse Cheese Co, the list goes on...

We have also cultivated excellent relationships with producers & suppliers across Scotland - from highland gamekeepers to island fisherman, our address book is ever expanding - ensuring that wherever you choose to host your holiday or special occasion, we are able to source the best available local, fresh, seasonal ingredients.
