Classic Scots Cookery

Author: Catherine Brown

In Classic Scots Cookery, award-winning food writer Catherine Brown brings you everything you'll ever need to know about food in Scotland. Scotland's varied landscape defines the nation's produce: the fertile lands of Angus and Tayside which produce slow-ripened, full-flavoured grains and soft fruits, the clear rivers and seawaters where fine seafood is caught by hand, line and net and the Highland pastures which provide gamey venison from red deer. Catherine's abundant knowledge of these riches allows you to experience Scotland's best traditional ingredients in a range of exceptional recipes. Along the way, you will also gain an understanding of the history and evolution of Scotland's food produce as she takes you on a journey to the kitchens, inns, crofts and fishing villages of the past. The scope of classic dishes in this comprehensive approach to Scots cooking is unparalleled. Everything is here, including all the festive classics from a Hogmanay Het Pint to a harvest home Cranachan. So step into the kitchen and experience truly Classic Scots Cookery.
