Gregor MacLeod inherited his grannie’s old cookery book. In it she had written down over 50 recipes by hand and Gregor has set himself the challenge of cooking his way through them.

He takes on grannie’s version of gingerbread and her recipe for classic Scottish tablet. Gregor’s cousin Flora calls in to taste the gingerbread and she tells him of her memories of grannie making tablet at the stove.

To find out more about cooking in the family, he talks to his auntie Ann and borrows a pudding bowl from her. This will come in handy for grannie’s recipe for steamed apple dumpling. Shaking things up, Gregor takes grannie’s recipe for fishcakes and adds his own flair. He smokes his own fish over a bed of woodchips, herbs and pink peppercorns before flaking it through mashed potato to make the fishcakes. He serves them with his own home-made tartare sauce.
