AWARD-winning chef Craig Wood opened the original Wee Restaurant in the shadow of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge in North Queensferry in 2006.
In the spring of 2016, Craig and his wife Vikki opened the second Wee Restaurant in Edinburgh’s New Town, offering the same hospitality and simple good food and wine.
Craig believes food is at its best when cooked simply, and his menus are designed to complement Scotland’s wonderful produce, enhancing their natural flavours. His skill is in turning the best, simple ingredients into perfect plates of food, both visually appealing and full of flavour. Craig uses our great tasting unfiltered Orodeal in his restaurants.

Ingredients:
1 large French pumpkin (approx. 2kg) or alternatively you can use a butternut squash
1 garlic head
Orodeal Extra Virigin Olive oil
500g mascarpone
200g Parmesan
Salt and black pepper
Method:

2 Start by peeling and deseeding the pumpkin (or butternut squash), then cut into medium sized chunks and place on a roasting tray.
