The Hebridean Baker’s latest cookbook, his fourth, is, as he writes in the introduction, “a celebration of community, connection and the joy of sharing food with loved ones.” Coinneach brings together 75 new recipes, for cakes, cookies, entrees, cocktails, and more, including Treacle Tart, Butter Tablet, Dundee Cake, Caledonian Mountain Cake, Cock-a-Leekie Orzo, Loch Lomond Stout Cookies, Hogmanay Clootie Dumpling and many more. As with his previous books, the attention to the finest ingredients, to simple easy-to-follow recipes, and to time-tested deliciousness make this worth having. And the stories, of local lore, of clan rivalries and of early Christian Scotland and of life in the Inner and Outer Hebrides make this volume more than just a book of recipes. 75 recipes and seven stories in 244 page hardcover book.
