Cozy up with a Hot Toddy Bundt Cake or a Cullen Skink Tart and enjoy a dose of Hebridean hygge. Putting a modern twist on classic recipes and showing us all that Scotland's larder has to offer, the Hebridean Baker uses fresh and local produce to transform well-known dishes into rustic modern fare. Alongside his signature recipes like Beef Cheek with Dumplings, Cock-a-Leekie Soup, and Treacle Toffee Banoffee, there are opportunities to impress your family and friends with Bradan Rost Paste on Blinis, Hogmanay Whiskey Espresso Martinis, and a spectacular Queen of Puddings.

Filled with inspiration from Nordic bakes to Granny Ann's Wedding Banquet, this book is filled to the brim with recipes to explore, stunning landscapes, and Gaelic words of wisdom to bring a breath of fresh Scottish island air to your kitchen. There is something for every home cook and baker in this lovingly crafted collection of homemade delights.
