A Year in my Shetland Garden
A Year in My Shetland Garden is a celebration of producing your own food in the challenging conditions of 60° north, where winters are long and the growing season is short. The collection of simple seasonal recipes for nourishing dishes is inspired by my beloved garden, local Shetland produce and wild plants.
Many of the recipes are flavoured by my Czech heritage and my travels as well as by Scottish classics and Shetland specialities, all beautifully brought to life by Susan Molloy’s photographs.
The book is also a prompt to slow down and enjoy what we have, strengthening our connection to nature through what we grow and cook, with an aim to waste less and be more resourceful. You will also find seasonal gardening tips and tasty recipes for snacks, soups, quick meals and special occasions, as well as mouth-watering loaves, delicious preserves and refreshing drinks – more than 80 ways to make the most of your garden throughout the year.
