Marco and Alex have a new book out called Dining Tales.
Dining Tales (sub-titled Savory Stories, Tasty Tales) is a collection of 27 stories told first-hand from some of the giants in Glasgow’s bustling dining scene. Over the past forty years, there has been a revolution in the quality, variety, and choice of restaurants in the city. Dining Tales hears from those who made that revolution: their journey often from humble beginnings, the sheer hard work involved and the fascinating stories behind the scenes.
Above all Dining Tales recounts the commitment, resilience, and the skillset essential to producing successful and much-loved venues that transformed Glasgow’s cuisine.
Whether you love food, eat out regularly or are interested in working in the restaurant business, Dining Tales is a compulsive read.
