There are bakes to gift and plenty of desserts to carry you right through to the bells of Hogmanay. Whether you’re stirring a rich Christmas pudding or toasting Hogmanay with a spiced winter cocktail, Hebridean Baker: A Scottish Christmas is your must-have guide to a winter filled with flavour, charm and a touch of Hebridean hygge – wherever you are in the world! The Hebridean Baker has gathered together an array of dishes that capture the spirit of the season. Expect rich and fruity Christmas Cake, Limoncello Mince Pies, Gingerbread Tiramisu and the most indulgent Yule Cake, alongside simple treats perfect for gifting, from buttery Chocolate Chip Shortbread to Christmas Rocky Road. And for those who love a hearty winter feast, there will be comforting classics like Salmon Chowder, Chicken Braemar with Whisky Sauce and a delicious Vegetarian Haggis.
Alongside these recipes, Coinneach shares the festive traditions of the Hebrides, from the folklore surrounding the shortest days of the year to the customs that make Hogmanay truly unique. With stunning photography capturing the wild beauty of Scotland in winter, this book is an invitation to slow down, savour the season, and create new traditions of your own. Whether readers are baking treats for family, preparing a feast for Hogmanay, or curling up by the fire with a dram in hand, Hebridean Baker: A Scottish Christmas is a festive companion that will bring warmth, joy and a little island magic to kitchens everywhere. And because Christmas is about more than what’s on the table, you’ll also find cosy Hebridean-inspired crafts to bring a little handmade magic into your home.
Oh, and did we mention the Hogmanay cocktails? These recipes draw on traditional Scottish favourites alongside dishes from around the world. It’s food that feels generous. Food that works. Food you’ll want to make again and again, long after the Christmas decorations have been packed away.
