Along the way, you’ll also discover notes on tradition, serving suggestions, and the small details that make Scottish baking so special.

The book includes gluten-free and vegan variations for many recipes, carefully considered so no one needs to miss out on these classic treats. You’ll also find a helpful glossary and thoughtful touches throughout, making this book as practical as it is heartfelt.
