Scots Kitchen - Classic Recipes and Traditions

"A wonderful book for those who love food - so much more than a cookery book, splendid though the recipes for food and drinks are. It is a book extolling the whole love and craft of cooking, social habits and customs of this country" -Hamish Coghill in Edinburgh Evening News
