Episode 4 of 8

Gregor MacLeod learns about a recipe book from 100 years ago that has been kept in the family.

Gregor MacLeod travels the islands gathering delicious recipes and meeting brilliant bakers and cooks. He gets a taste of what they are stirring up in their kitchens as well as getting creative in his own.

A recipe can take us back and remind us of a time, a place or person. In Kyle, Gregor meets Barbara Smith whose most cherished possession is her grandmother鈥檚 recipe book. Gregor and her make gingerbread from that very guide.

Inspired by the book, Gregor takes note of a recipe for steamed syrup sponges and recreates them at home, adding a modern twist with a decadent coconut custard. Gregor also shares his most recent culinary creations, including a zesty Torta della Nonna with crispy pastry and a topping of pinenuts, and savoury cheese muffins flecked with veggie haggis, including a surprise in the centre.
