The Hebridean Baker!

We’re so excited to partner with Old Firehouse Books to welcome back international best-selling author Coinneach MacLeod, the Hebridean Baker! Join us in the Milltop while Coinneach shares stories and recipes from his new book, The Hebridean Baker: At Home: Flavors & Folklore from the Scottish Islands. He’ll also stick around for a wee bit afterwards to sign books and take a few photos. Last year, the sold-out event was so much fun!!!

You can purchase tickets here and the ticket cost includes a copy of his new book and a Hebridean Baker tote bag!

The best way to learn know more about the Hebridean Baker before the event is to visit his Instagram, and here’s an intro to his book:

Fàilte! I’m Coinneach, and this is my Hebridean home…

In my kitchen, flavours become stories, bakes become family favourites and recipes are shared with friends from across the islands. Join me where the rolling hills of the Hebrides meet the rolling pins of my kitchen! For this book, I travelled from Islay, via Barra, Uist, Berneray and Harris before arriving home to Lewis. I’ve shared recipes and stories that have been handed down through the generations, bakes that celebrate the flavours of Scotland and simple dishes that you can whip up from your store cupboard ingredients.

The Hebridean Baker at Home is filled with comforting cakes and bakes from his Double Dram Cake to Marmalade Shortbread, Fern Cake to Ecclefechan Tarts. Alongside delicious, hearty savoury dishes, including Leek Bread & Butter Pudding and Salmon Wellington, which are served up with a chapter full of Celtic recipes and signature Christmas bakes.
