Sa phrògram seo tha e a’ dol an sàs ann an cèic mheasan. Bha a sheanmhair a’ cleachdadh pùdar uighe anns a chèic aig àm san robh an Cuibhreannachadh dìreach air sgur, ach cha chuala Griogar guth riamh air!

A’ tadhal air nàbaidh a tha tric sa ghàrradh, cluinnidh e dè dh’ fhàsas ann am polytunnel ann an Leòdhas. A’ tilleadh dhachaidh le dòrlach lusan is eile, cuiridh e iad ri slisean bradain ann an sabhs geal.

Tha mìlsean carraigin san leabhar cuideachd, biadh feamad air an robh muinntir nan eilean riamh measail. Tha Griogar a’ dol gu cladach Bhràgair a choinneachadh ri fear a bhios ga bhuain, ‘s a dh’innseas dha mar a bhruicheas e e.

Gregor takes on a classic fruit cake. Written not long after rationing, Grannie’s recipe calls for powdered egg - a new experience for Gregor! He visits his neighbour, a keen gardener, to learn about the things you can grow in a polytunnel in Lewis. Returning home with a handful of tasty ingredients, he adds them to grannie’s recipe for salmon steaks with white sauce.

Another find in the book is carageen pudding. This traditional island dish uses seaweed, so Gregor visits the shore at Bragar to meet a local man who regularly gathers it on the rocks and has some handy tips for cooking with it.
