The bestselling author of Recipes and Wee Stories from the Scottish Islands and My Scottish Island Kitchen is back with his third, highly anticipated cookbook.
The Hebridean Baker at Home shares stories and adventures alongside his best selection of recipes yet.
Be whisked away to Coinneach MacLeod’s island home where he brings delightful dishes to fill your space with Hebridean Hygge and songs and stories that will inspire your next visit to the Hebrides.
Alongside friends and family, his recipes are lovingly curated alongside Hebridean folklore, history and how to find the best secret beauty spots across the islands.
The Hebridean Baker at Home is filled with comforting bakes from his Double Dram Cake to Marmalade Shortbread, Drunken Crumble to a Lemon Curd Tiramisu.
Delicious, hearty savoury dishes, including Whisky Fondue and Salmon Wellington, are served up with chapters full of Celtic recipes, cocktails and signature Christmas bakes.
Coinneach, who has featured on ITV’s This Morning, Steph’s Packed Lunch and Kirstie
Allsop’s Handmade Christmas, has just been named Scotland’s Food and Drink Influencer of the Year.
He has generated much international interest in Scotland and the Hebrides with more than 26 million views on his social media videos, leading to the Canadian bestseller list and sold-out book tours across the USA.
With its stunning photography, the book is an ideal introduction to island life.
Coinneach travelled from Islay, via Barra, Uist, Berneray and Harris before arriving home to the Isle of Lewis, meeting friends and family along the way and learning what home means to them and what they love to bake in their kitchen.
Guest appearances include Scottish greats such as folk singer Julie Fowlis, Shuggie
Bain author Douglas Stewart, the Hebridean Mermaid Kate MacLeod and many others.
Hebridean Baker at Home will be released on October 12 and he will be doing two book events in Oban as part of his launch tour.
