Samenvatting:

Fàilte, I'm Coinneach, the Hebridean Baker. I'm so glad you're here, and I'd love to share A Scottish Christmas with you.

Inside this book you'll find hearty comfort food to gather friends and family close, dishes for when guests arrive unexpectedly, and wee sweet treats to enjoy with a cuppa. There are bakes that fill the house with the aroma of festive spice, and plenty of puddings and desserts to carry you right through to the bells of Hogmanay. Oh, and did I mention the cocktails and crafts?

These recipes draw on traditional Scottish favourites alongside flavours from around the world that have found a happy home in my Hebridean kitchen. It's food that feels generous. Food that works. Food you'll want to make again and again, long after the Christmas decorations have been packed away.
