Winter is a lovely season to draw us back into the kitchen. The days are short, the fire is on and food becomes something deeper than fuel. This Winter recipe collection is a celebration of comfort, tradition, and quiet nourishment which is inspired by the Scottish traditions and seasons. These recipes are made to be cooked slowly, shared with family and friends and returned to year after year. The dishes warm the body and fill the house with familiar scents which remind us that Winter is not something to endure but something to slow down and enjoy.
