The Scottish Highlands and Islands undoubtedly boast some of the most spectacular and unspoiled scenery in the world, as well as some of the most delicious local produce. Highland Hospitality combines luscious photography with a truly mouth-watering collection of recipes from the area's cooking elite, in order to give you a taste of this remarkable landscape. In this sumptuous volume, Lady Claire MacDonald takes us on a culinary odyssey around the Highlands and Islands, stopping along the way at twenty of her favourite cooking establishments to sample the cuisine and interview the chefs. Each shares the secrets of their three favourite dishes - a starter, main course and dessert - to bring you an exquisite menu complete with wine suggestions. The result: an unforgettable journey of the senses.

By E. Withers
Format:Hardcover
A beautifully produced book but is it one you will use often? By asking top chefs for their favourite menus, in an effort to show off their skills and promote their establishments, many give complex recipes. The background to the areas, history of the food are interesting and seeing photos of the chefs adds a nice personal touch. All the meals do indeed look mouth-watering and the contributors (quite rightly) pride themselves on using local produce but this means that if you don't have good access to varied, fresh seafood (lobster, scallops, ling) and game (esp. venison) you may be stuck to repeat them. Also have you ever seen vie de poivre William in your local Sainsbury's?? Another criticism would be that there are no less than four versions of lemon tart!
In short, it's definitely a lovely book to flick through, read and inspire you to get your apron on but you may find yourself turning to a more user-friendly book to actually cook from.
