TONY SARTON TIGERLILY

A new addition to Edinburgh’s culinary scene, Mark Greenaway brings a plethora of experience garnered at home and abroad. After working alongside some of the world’s most exciting talent at The Olympics in Sydney, Mark worked as Head Chef at Glasgow’s One Devonshire Gardens, described as ‘one of the best places to eat in Glasgow…’. He and mentor Barrie Brown then planted the seed to create a dining experience unique to Edinburgh, with Mark Greenaway at Hawke & Hunter. Chef Roy Brett has spent over 23 years in the industry, honing his skills with some of the country's top chefs including celebrity chef Rick Stein at his acclaimed restaurant in Padstow, and in the kitchens of One Devonshire Gardens and Malmaison. Roy is uncompromising on seasonality and sustainability, and has a genuine passion for seafood. Achieving accreditation by the MSC soon after opening Ondine, his ethical approach to cooking is reflected in Ondine's fresh, seasonal, menus.

Originally from Devonshire, Tony’s enthusiasm for locally sourced, fresh ingredients made a move to Scotland inevitable. With a desire to make his mark in Edinburgh’s burgeoning food scene, Tony joined Tigerlily in 2010. As Head Chef, he has showcased his flair for Asian cuisine, successfully experimenting with different textures, flavours and ingredients, earning him a reputation as one of Edinburgh’s most exciting culinary talents.

‘This is my first year working in Edinburgh and I’m usually behind the scenes in the kitchen so Taste is going to be a fantastic opportunity to meet customers face to face. It’s an exciting time for the Edinburgh dining scene and looking at this year’s restaurant line up you can see the high standards of cuisine on offer. We’re going to be working with one of the best Scottish berry suppliers to treat guests to my modern day take on Eton Mess the perfect alfresco dish.’

‘By the end of this year, I am aiming to make 95% of the Ondine menu sustainable. It’s a tall order, but I believe my customers support my efforts. Taste of Edinburgh will offer others who share my passion the chance to not only taste and experience my food, but also find out more about my ethos. To me, Taste of Edinburgh offers cutomers a unique chance to get up close and personal with the city’s best chefs.’ ‘As this is the first Taste festival that I’ve been a part of, I’m looking forward to meeting local suppliers and producers. With amazing culinary talent throughout the city, the dining experience in Edinburgh is second to none. The dishes we are showcasing at Taste will give a snapshot of our extensive menu which will capture the essence of Tigerlily quality and style.’
