Synopsis

The author takes the reader on a tour of Scotland's kitchens from the late 17th century to the present day in a celebration of all that is simple and authentic in the Scottish food tradition. Here are softly simmered broths flavoured with fresh herbs, crumbly farm cheeses, crisp oatcakes, roast game with redcurrant jelly, beef and venison, wild salmon and oysters - the wealth of Scotland's food in all its simplicity. Added to her plea for a return to the traditional fare of her native land, the author includes a wide selection of recipes and an extensive list of the best Scottish food suppliers.

Review:

'In this fascinating and scholarly work Catherine Brown has combined the history of cooking in Scotland with wonderful, often forgotten and mouthwatering recipes'.

Derek Cooper in Scotland on Sunday 'An enthralling read and a collection of good traditional recipes. What more could one want?' Stella Roberts in Scottish Homes and Gardens
