The earliest evidence of honey being enjoyed in Scotland dates back
to 1000 years BC - an Iron-age beaker that once contained mead was
found in a burial chamber in Fife. Since before history, honey has
added delicacy and sweetness to the Scottish diet. Scottish honey,
with its fragrances of heather, meadowsweet, clover and birch, is a
unique, magical ingredient, and the Honey Bible features a host of
easy-to-prepare recipes drawing on this wonderful resource. Liz
Ashworth introduces us to its versatility from dishes as varied as
Medieval sweet pickled salmon and honey-spiced beetroot, to the
delectable cranachan and more contemporary chocolate honey fudge
cake. Prepared in collaboration with one of the UK's oldest and
largest honey farms, Chain Bridge in the Borders, this book draws
on the experience and traditions of generations of skilled
beekeepers and Scottish cooks in the use of this quintessentially
natural and organic food. Chain Bridge honey farm is a flourishing
family business started by beekeeping advisor William Selby Robson
in 1948. Specialising in natural honey products they produce
everything from honeycombs to beeswax candles.
Scottish baking is famous the world over. In this book, Liz
Ashworth introduces a whole range of recipes arranged by theme -
Bannocks, Breads and Scones; Biscuits; Tarts and Traybakes; and
Cakes and Wee Fancies. From bannocks to butteries, seaweed nibbles
to shortbread, from indulgent lemon Madeira cake and
light-as-a-feather strawberry sandwich cake to wee fancies such as
raspberry buns and 'sair heideis', the book features 40 recipes
from all over the country. All are graded according to level of
complexity (though none are difficult), making it ideal for bakers
of all abilities to explore this glorious part of Scotland's
culinary heritage.
Ever since the humble potato arrived from Peru around 1730 it has
been a key component of the Scottish diet. In this book Liz
Ashworth introduces the heritage and history of the potato and the
numerous varieties available, including information on nutritional
benefits, the tattie season and how to grow your own. The recipes
are organized in themed sections: Breakfasts, Snacks, Soups,
Traditional Favourites, Salads, Pies, Puddings, Baking and Biscuits
(including gluten free), recipes from Further Afield and Drinks. In
addition to basic potato dishes (boiled and steamed; mashed; roast,
sauted, chips, wedges and baked), she also includes a
mouth-watering selection of recipes, from Tattie Scones, Norwegian
Potato Pie and Haggis Frittata to Hot Tattie Salad, Rumbledthumps,
Cheese Cottage Potato Pudding and Orkney Tattie Wine.
