    Close your eyes. What is your picture of the Outer Hebrides? Walking along a deserted beach on a wild, stormy day? Climbing to the top of a heather-strewn hill with a happy wee dog by your side? Sipping a dram of whisky at a cèilidh as a Gaelic song is being sung? Or sitting by your aunt’s warm stove waiting for a cake to come out of the oven? For me, it has been all these things and more, and they have inspired every page of my new book, The Hebridean Baker: Recipes and Wee Stories from the Scottish Islands.

My love of baking is only equalled by the love I have for the island where I was born – which made writing my cookbook a very special, humbling experience. I feel like I am living my dream, sharing recipes and stories from the islands. The Hebrides is a larder like no other, with some of the best whisky, seafood, meat and homegrown produce you’ll ever be lucky enough to enjoy, and I hope you’ll discover a wee slice of the Hebrides
