I’m not much of a chef, but I am a massive fan of Alexander McCall Smith’s 44 Scotland Street series. This book and its recipes are just as charming as the series, and I’m looking forward to giving these recipes a try.
Each recipe is related to an incident from one of the books, including an excerpt from the text. No series of books has brought me more joy than this one, so being reminded of various episodes by these recipes was a delight.

I can’t wait to try some of these recipes! They’re grouped by character, which is fun. They range from easy (Bertie’s Porridge Islands) to more advanced (Bruce’s Prescription Only Lobster Bisque). I think my first outing will be Angus Lordie’s Cheese Scones! Then, Big Lou’s “Off the record buttery bacon rolls”! Every fan of 44 Scotland Street should add this cookbook to their collection.
