Nick Nairn

Nick Nairn is a chef, TV personality and the youngest Scottish chef to win a Michelin star when he received it in 1991.

Despite having no formal cookery training, Nick opened Braeval in 1986, his own restaurant located near Aberfoyle in Scotland. Just five years after opening, he received the Michelin star aged just 32.

He currently has two restaurants: Nicks at Port of Menteith and Nairns, Bridge of Allan. He also has two cookery schools, one at the Lake of Menteith and a second in Aberdeen.

Nick became a face of popular TV in the 1990s when he was a regular chef on BBC’s Ready Steady Cook from 1995. Along with Dougie Vipond, Nick also co-hosted The Great Food Guys which showcased Scottish food and produce.

As well as appearing on a number of television programmes, he has also written several books and columns for newspapers and magazines.

Nick is also involved in philanthropic activities and initiatives to promote healthy eating and culinary education. He regular appears at food festivals, hosts cooking demonstrations, and contributes to food-related events both in Scotland and internationally.

He is celebrated not only for his culinary skills but also for his efforts to promote Scottish cuisine, support aspiring chefs, and encourage people to explore the pleasures of cooking and eating good food.

Nick received an honorary doctorate from the University of Stirling in 2007 for his contributions to Scottish cooking and healthy eating, and was awarded a second honorary doctorate from Abertay University in June 2016.
