Scottish produce is celebrated the world over. The demand for game, for example, far exceeds what can be supplied, and Scottish cheeses surpass many from mainland Europe. In this book Claire Macdonald celebrates the very best of Scottish ingredients - from oatmeal, dairy produce, meat and fish, fruit and vegetables and even whisky - in 60 imaginative recipes for starters, main course and puddings, as well as for sauces, dressings, baking and other treats. Recipes include: Grilled goat's cheese on stir-fried beetroot with orange and Balsamic vinegar, Chocolate oatmeal biscuits, Iced honey and whisky creams, Herb crepes with smoked salmon, creme fraiche and diced cucumber, Steam-baked cod with lentils, coriander and lime, Venison fillet with green peppercorn, ginger and port sauce.
