In her latest book, Sue Lawrence presents a marvelous collection of contemporary Scottish recipes that feature traditional, down-to-earth ingredients. For breakfast, enjoy Smoked Trout Hash or Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon, or for a light meal, Asparagus Tarte Tatin. For a picnic, there's Summer Pea Soup with Mint, Herbed Scotch Eggs, and Whisky-Laced Fruit Cake. And for a Burns Supper, try Barley Risotto with Chanterelles, Venison with Oat and Herb Crust, and Shortbread Ice Cream with Sticky Bananas. Illustrated with gorgeous color photos of the food and the Scottish countryside, this is a treasure trove of all that is good in Scottish cooking.
I have so far only tried out one recipe - which although was nothing like the picture, was divine and will be making many more appearances in the de Oude household! My one critique would be that although I enjoyed pictures of the Scottish countryside and authors family on picnics etc, I would rather there were more pictures of the food and recipes.
