Heather Dewar cooks recipes featured in her favourite cookery book: The Scots Kitchen.

Islay-born cook Heather Dewar explores the world of Scottish cuisine using her favourite cookery book: F Marian McNeill's The Scots Kitchen.

A ceann-gropaig gu bàirnich 's buntàta, chan eil leabhar còcaireachd ann coltach ris an 'Scots Kitchen' aig F. Marian NicNèill. Sa phrògram seo tha Fraoch Nic an Deòir a Ìle a'rùrach san leabhar chòcaireachd is fheàrr leatha. Tro bhriathran Floss Marian NicNèill air biadh nan daoine agus am beatha làitheil, tha Fraoch a'coimhead air còcaireachd na h-Alba. Chan e mhàin gu bheil i a'cur eòlas air eachdraigh a'bhìdhe, agus seann sgeulachdan mu dheidhinn - tha i ga dhèanamh na cidsin fhèin.

'S iomadh rud a bhathar ag ithe uairigin nach eil buileach ri ar càil an-diugh, eadar coltas, blas is fàileadh. Mi-chàilear am barail feadhainn, fiù's sgreamhail - ach chan e sin beachd Fraoch, cha chuir an taobh is gràineile de dheasachadh bìdhe ise sìos no suas. Tha i ag aideachadh gu bheil corra bhiadh an seo ris an cuireadh i cùl - ach tha seòrsaichean eile a'còrdadh rithe agus tha i gan ithe tric.

From ceann-cropaig to limpet stovies, The Scots Kitchen, by F Marian McNeill, is a recipe book like no other. Islay-born cook Heather Dewar explores the pages of her favourite cookery book. Through McNeill's fascinating account of not only how we ate but of how we lived, Heather looks at the world of Scottish cuisine.

Heather not only delves into the history and legend associated with the recipes in McNeill's book, she also makes a number of them in her kitchen. Many of the dishes may offend our modern-day sensibilities of what food should look, taste and smell like.

To some they might seem bizarre, even gruesome - but not so to Heather who can more than stomach the grisly side of food preparation! While she admits that some recipes might be best consigned to history, there are many she makes with great regularity.
