Fans of the book and the series will enjoy this nod to traditional Highland Cuisine. Painstakingly researched, every recipe in this book ties in with some type of food from the books. The author gives the passage from the book where the food is mentioned, and then writes at least one paragraph going into the historical details of this food, from how it was traditionally made to where to find more traditional ingredients. She also gives information on acceptable substitutions for foods that our modern taste buds might not appreciate!Thoroughly researched, beautifully photographed and lovingly presented, this cookbook will be a welcome challenge for any seasoned cook who wants to take a trip to the Highlands without ever leaving the comfort of their home!
However, if you're like me, it will inspire you to begin planning a trip to Scotland. A trip that involves a lot of eating. And several teas. And maybe a beer or two.
