Savor the taste of Angus with Jeanie Rae’s In-Situ Picnic—luxury hamper feasts crafted for outdoor moments in Scotland’s beautiful Redcastle area.
Jeanie Rae's is a culinary experience provider based in Redcastle, Scotland. The business offers three distinct experiences that showcase seasonal, locally sourced Angus produce: the Foraging Walk & Outdoor Cookery Experience, the 3 Course Cookery Class, and the In-Situ Picnic.
Foraging Walk & Outdoor Cookery Experience pairs Chef Wout with a local foraging expert to guide guests through the Angus countryside to find mushrooms, berries and herbs. The walk culminates in a warm lunch cooked over an open fire, blending foraged ingredients with local produce.
The 3 Course Cookery Class is a hands-on session led by Chef Wout where participants prepare a seasonal Scottish menu using locally sourced Angus ingredients and then enjoy the finished three-course meal paired with exclusive wines.
The In-Situ Picnic offers luxurious hampers of Angus produce prepared for outdoor dining—suited to celebrations, scenic walks and special lunches in natural settings.
