Jess Elliott Dennison opens up her studio to chat to SSEAMS

SSEAMS Editor, Diane and Jess of Elliott’s tend to catch up each issue and put the world to rights every time! Now, with a focus on Elliott's Studio, we hear what's on the menu for the year ahead...

Words by Jess

Elliott's celebrates simple cooking and life in the kitchen It was created by myself, food writer Jess Elliott Dennison

The Elliott’s Studio is a former newsagent that I carefully renovated to highlight the building’s original period features including the floorboards, fireplace, large butler sink, cornicing and a magnificent ceiling rose

In the Studio, I write and test recipe commissions, host craft workshops and visit cookbook authors My work is inspired by the produce, colours, textures and rituals that each season brings and I have written 3 cookbooks, Salad Feasts, Tin Can Magic and Lazy Baking My recipes have been featured in publications such as VOGUE, Homes and Interiors, Olive, TOAST and The Independent

Each season, I host a series of cookery demonstrations in my Studio The upcoming Summer Series is a 3 hour cookery demonstration lunch that takes you step by step through my Summer menu, using produce and flowers from my garden in the Scottish Borders and other local suppliers. Tasting each course as you go, you will learn the skills required to recreate each dish in your own kitchen, including guidance on how to choose and use the best of Summer’s produce in your home cooking.

You’ll pick up loads of handy tips and tricks from my many years of cooking at Elliott’s, writing cookbooks, testing food columns and food styling for commercials and TV

My lunch menu is accompanied by a welcome snack and cocktail, natural wine on the table, an exclusive recipe booklet and special seasonal gift Tickets are £85
