About Chef’s Dinner with Derek Johnstone and Steven Doherty
The chefs met while working at the iconic Le Gavroche with the late Albert Roux, will serve a four-course menu inspired by the master of French cooking.
The evening will begin with a selection of chef’s canapes served with a glass of Palmer & Co Champagne, followed by Souffle Suissesse with leeks, truffle, parmesan and cheddar. To start, guests will enjoy baked scallop in their shell with shellfish essence, before a main course of coal-fired Highland venison, celeriac and potato puree, wild mushrooms, kale and sauce poivrade. To round off the evening, guests will enjoy poached Williams pear, shortbread, Champagne sabayon and damson coulis - a nod to both seasonality and classic French technique.
Derek Johnstone was the inaugural winner of MasterChef: The Professionals in 2008 at just 24 years old. After winning the title he was offered a position by Michel Roux Jnr at Le Gavroche and worked there for a year and a half before working for Albert Roux at a number of his London restaurants. In addition to his work at Rusacks St Andrews, Derek has collaborated with another hotel in the Marine & Lawn portfolio, Marine Troon, to develop its menus for The Rabbit Restaurant and The Seal Bar which opened earlier this year.
Steven joined Albert Roux’s Le Gavroche brigade as commis chef in 1978, before rising through the ranks and being promoted to sous chef in 1982. He became the first Briton in history to run a three Michelin-starred restaurant as head chef under the tutelage of Albert Roux and his brother Michel, who are credited with bringing French cooking to the UK. He became only the fifth chef in the country to win the Master of Culinary Arts award in 1991, with only 20 chefs receiving this title to date.
A destination restaurant within Rusacks St Andrews, the 18 restaurant sits on the fourth floor with unparalleled views over West Sands beach and the Old Course Golf Links.
