Here’s an easy to digest book on how to make your own traditional and modern Scottish cakes and bakes
I’ve always been a keen baker having being brought up in a house where my Mum made everything from scratch and baked every weekend. As a writer and presenter of Homecrafts for Scottish Television and BBC Radio Scotland I wanted to share my ‘Make It Simple’ philosophy within the realms of my passion for baking, and my homeland of Scotland and the rich selection of traditional recipes seemed like a good place to start.
