A Caledonian Feast ([New ed.])

Scottish cuisine reflects both the riches of the country's resources and the frugality often imposed upon its inhabitants.

From the ninth century to the present, from the simplicity of porridge and oatcakes to the gourmet delights of fish and game, this is a culinary history of Scotland, complete with Annette Hope's personal collection of authentic recipes.

It draws upon many strands of Scotland's literary heritage including works by Scott, Boswell, Smollett and Hogg as well as agriculturists, social historians and specialist food writers like Marian McNeill.
