Highland Harvest Book

An inspiring cook book written by our much admired friend Theresa Baumgartner. We first met Theresa when she was visiting the Highlands seeking Scottish traditions, influences, recipes and people to write Highland Harvest. This book is packed with exciting recipes and words on local suppliers, crafts and tourism. Below is a synopsis.

In her own words.....Autumn is in the air: the scent of ripe apples from the orchard, moss, and aromatic mushrooms from the forest. The rustling of golden autumn leaves sets the mood - the beloved harvest season begins. From the garden of a Luxembourg farmhouse, we create simple, comforting dishes. The air is filled with the aroma of pumpkin soup and fresh focaccia from the oven. We bake a leek quiche for a woodland picnic and the most delightful plum cake for afternoon tea. Deep red dahlias make for a stunning tablescape. As winter approaches, we visit the vast landscapes of the Scottish Highlands - stopping by to chat with a historic tweed mercer, a legendary lodge, and a flower school. In the kitchen, we bake the first batch of delicate, crispy shortbread and top pavlovas with marinated pears. We create napkin rings from tweed and gift tags from pine needs, and know with certainty: the joy of winter is here!
