Fun and Informative!,
By Carolyn K Armistead (Moore, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Year in a Scots Kitchen: Celebrating Summer's End to Worshipping Its Beginning (Paperback)
I am very glad I purchased this cookbook. I have Scottish roots, and this book provides me with a way to enjoy Scottish foods easily, and with interesting background information. American users of this book will have to have a kitchen scale, or diet scale in order to use the recipes. It isn't hard to use the scale to measure dry ingredients, etc,. and the results are well worth the effort. I particularly enjoy the shortbread recipe, which gives you a choice of three textures. I usually use the second one, as it seems most authentic in my experience. When I feel I can afford the calories and fat, I make Aberdeen Rowies, and the recipe and story in this cookbook for Rowies is wonderful. (Rowies are Scottish butter rolls, kind of like croissants, but more substantial.) All in all, this is a very useful addition to my cookbook collection.

Scottish Cooking and Celtic History,
By Scone lady (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Year in a Scots Kitchen: Celebrating Summer's End to Worshipping Its Beginning (Paperback)
This book is interesting to read even if you don't cook. The recipe for shortbread justifies buying the book. But there are other really great recipes as well. The recipes are presented in a format by season and not by type of dish, which normally I find annoying, but in this book it is a wonderful journey.
