Cook's Tour of Scotland: From Barra to Brora in 120 Recipes

Author: Sue Lawrenc

Award-winning food writer Sue Lawrence journeys the length and breadth of Scotland to meet the people who farm and produce its food in this charming cookbook. An Orkney barley miller, an Isle of Mull cheese producer, a Dundee sausage-maker, and a Brora jam-maker are just a few of the many food heroes she meets along the way. In a cornucopia of recipes inspired by Scotland's sublime ingredients, Lawrence serves up dishes such as Frittata with Smoked Salmon; Lamb Shanks with Asparagus and Mint; Bean, Kale, and Sausage Crusty Hotpot; and Orkney Fudge Cheesecake. Celebrating the Scottish landscape and history as well as its food, this beautifully illustrated volume is a must for visitors or anyone who loves fresh, seasonal fare.
