The Best Of Traditional Scottish Cooking: More Than 60 Classic Step-By-Step Recipes From The Varied Regions Of Scotland, Illustrated With Over 250 Photographs Paperback – June 7, 2014

This is a wonderful cookbook! I am very impressed with the distinct and obvious overlap of the various European cuisines and cultures, which this book makes stunningly clear. Anyone with Celtic and / or Scandinavian ancestry should treat themselves to this tasty compilation post haste!

Great cookbook! Pictures of recipes, and some history about the area. Exactly what I wanted.

Simply browsing this book prompts a lot of memories, The recipes do work but that is only a part of it: the joy is the inspiration possible from such a slender book. This is one book which will be well thumbed.

I really like this cookbook. Full range of recipes from simple soups to fish terrine. Great color photos featured in step-by-step instructions. Good information on history of Scottish food, explanations of ingredients, and food regions. It is the size of a magazine, not hard cover, so fits easily on my crowded cookbook shelf!

Hood traditional recipes.

Great recipes, tasty dishes from another country with easy to follow recipes.

I really lov this cook book. It found its home alongside my other books. <3

This is interesting and enjoyable to read, rather than to use. There is a good introductory section. The recipes sound delicious, but many of them are based on ingredients that are hard to find where I live , for example, game. It is lavishly illustrated.

The book is great and I cannot wait to try all the recipes! I love it! The product arrived on time and in great condition.

Great cookery book if your Scottish it will remind you of when you were a child and your mum made a lot of these dishes

This book is a delight to read, photos are great and the description given with each location is very good. So glad I bought it and condition is great

Bought as a wee stocking filler for an Australian friend who was absolutely delighted with it.

A collection of 60+ classic, step-by-step recipes ~ in case it is important, I will mention that there is no recipe for ‘TABLET’ in this book! 😞An especially useful ‘Cook’s Tip’ (at the time of writing), from ‘HAGGIS WITH CLAPSHOT CAKE’, on page 50, which covers off the usual argument by declaring ‘peeled turnip or swede (rutabaga)’ as one of the ingredients for the 'neeps & tatties’ to accompany the (bought) haggis:📝‘If you are serving haggis on Burns Night (January 25th), you need to bring the haggis whole to the table on a platter and cut it open reciting the famous Burns poem…’More than just a selection of recipes, there are all sorts of snippets of information in this colourful book, which is a larger format than I expected, representing great value for money, IMO. The introduction also includes notes about a wee dram or two and the clearly laid out recipes all have an opening note as does the double page spread that opens each section.From the back cover:✔️ ‘Explore the wonderful culinary traditions of Scotland with this collection of over 60 authentic recipes✔️ Includes a guide to the products harvested from the mountains, moors, forests, seas, rivers and lochs✔️ Chapters cover a full range of dishes, from hearty breakfasts, sustaining soups and traditional mains to seasonal side dishes, delectable desserts and classic cakes✔️ Features all the Scottish favourites, including SCOTCH BROTH, HAGGIS with CLAPSHOT CAKE, ANGUS PASTIES, KAILKENNY, DROP SCONES & SHORTBREAD✔️ Over 250 step-by-step colour photographs, as well as a variety of cook's tips and variations, help you achieve perfect results every time✔️ Complete nutritional notes are provided for every recipe.’ooOooMeasuring around 28 cm x 21.5 cm, the colourful card cover opens to 96 good quality, shiny finish pages, split over SECTIONS, each with a list of the recipes included:~ BREAKFASTS, SOUPS & APPETISERS~ FISH & SHELLFISH~ MEAT, POULTRY & GAME~ SIDE DISHES~ DESSERTS & BAKING...sandwiched between the aforementioned INTRODUCTION & a 1-page alphabetical INDEX, the latter winding up the book.[20 images attached ©Carol Wilson, Christopher Trotter, Craig Robertson & Anness Publishing/2010]
