Gaelic cuisine: cooking in harmony with the rhythm of nature
< br />The Highlander Cookery Book offers a fascinating insight into traditional Scottish Highlander cuisine and their Gaelic culture, which linked them to the land and sea well into the 17th century.

Scotland, this immensely vast and wild country, surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, was and still is full of the finest seafood, a variety of game species and the most famous of all, highland cattle, rich in highly prized specialties. In ancient times, however, these delicacies were reserved for clan chiefs, who were paid in kind by their subjects. In this book you will find a selection of original and rustic recipes from the homes of shepherds, fishermen and small farmers, as well as from the cosmopolitan tables of the clan chiefs they were obliged to serve. All ingredients that were common until the 17th century are described in detail and, where necessary, replaced with alternative but authentic ingredients for current use.

In addition, this book offers interesting insights into the table and customs of the time and a lot of information about historical kitchens and utensils.

The simple cuisine of the Gaels, with its high-quality, local and seasonal produce, is fully in keeping with current culinary trends. All recipes are easy to cook and full of Highland flavour.

Brilliant food photography for every dish.
