A Feast of Scotland

by Janet Warren

This cookbook devoted to the tastes and lore of Scotland conveniently comes with a weight converter AND a translation of terminology. Recipes for Forfar Bridies, minced collops and Partan Bree come with interesting history and travel information. More traditional recipes are included and the Typsy Laird on age 147 is amazing.

I picked up this book in a tourist shop on a pile of books on offer. Simply reading the introduction had me concerned about her research, dates, information. Some one who had picked up bits and pieces and flung them together. The porridge recipe was wrong. Not sure where this woman is from or how long she has been in Scotland, think she might have been better soing myths and folklore. Not recommended. There are much better book on Scottish books out there than this garbled mess. I read all the introductions to each section but they didn't get any better and gave up on the recipes.

Contains a lot of the rcipes I've been wanting to make based on the summers I've spent in Scotland, and is not afraid to hone to traditional old styles.

This was given to me by a friend years ago as a souvenir from his visit to Scotland. After taking my oldest son to visit friends in Northern Ireland in 2006, I followed the recipe for fruit scones, as well as the one for soda bread. They passed the test of the 16 year old. Granted, there is the Irish Sea between the two countries, but we could see Scotland from Fairhead, and so I figured the recipe had to be close. :) He said that mine were almost as good as the ones we got from a bakery in Newtownards.
