This autumn, Helena Puolakka was joined by Michelin-starred Scottish chef Tom Kitchin at her restaurant Aster for one-off dinner which also served as something of a reunion.

The executive head chef of the Nordic and French-inspired restaurant in Victoria previously worked with Kitchin under legendary chef Pierre Koffman at three-Michelin starred La Tante Claire.

Koffmann was also in attendance as the Finnish and Scottish chefs joined forces to create a special meal for guests, while being interviewed by restaurant critic Richard Vines.

The menu set about celebrating the virtues of Scottish game, which Kitchin explores in his new book Meat & Game.

Watch the video above to see the pair in action.
