Award winning chef Andrew Fairlie presents a fine dining evening at House for an Art Lover

Scotland’s only two star Michelin Chef, Andrew Fairlie, will be leading a brigade of chefs in preparing dinner for up to seventy fee-paying guests at Glasgow’s House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park on Wednesday 19 April 2006.

 The occasion marks Andrew’s first return to Glasgow since he was awarded his second star by Michelin, Europe’s foremost gastronomic handbook, for his work at his restaurant at Gleneagles Hotel earlier this year. This is also the first time in five years that a Scottish restaurant has been awarded a second Michelin stars and represents a huge personal triumph for Andrew.

The evening, which is priced at £80 per head but was sold out weeks ago, is a reflection also of Andrew’s relationship with House for an Art Lover Chief Executive, Garry Sanderson. The two worked together earlier in their careers at Glasgow’s One Devonshire Gardens Hotel.

Said Garry Sanderson: ‘This is the fulfilment of a dearly-held wish of mine that Andrew would host an evening at the House for an Art Lover; we’re always trying to stage events which will appeal to as many people as possible but the demand for tickets to enjoy Andrew’s cooking has outstripped anything we have ever done before’.

Andrew Fairlie added: ‘Garry is an old friend and I’m delighted to have this opportunity to cook alongside the House for an Art Lover’s talented chefs in what is a jewel among Glasgow’s entertainment venues’.

Throughout the evening, sponsored by leading Scottish public relations business, Blueprint Media, the guests will be entertained by musician Katie Targett-Adams.
