Step into the warmth of a stone cottage kitchen, where the peat fire glows, the kettle sings, and the scent of something wonderful fills the air. Hearth & Highland Cookbook invites you to pull up a chair and share in the beloved flavors of Scotland and Ireland. These comforting dishes first appeared across eight of the author’s beloved cozy mystery novels set among misty moors, cobblestone villages, and rugged coastal shores. From hearty soups and savory stews to golden-crusted breads and sweet teatime treats, these recipes carry the soul of the Celtic kitchen; they’re simple, honest, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're simmering a pot of Irish lamb stew on a rainy afternoon or baking a batch of Scottish shortbread for a gathering of friends, each dish tells a story as rich as the landscapes that inspired it. Born from the kitchens of unforgettable characters and the places they call home, this collection is more than a cookbook. It's an invitation to live, however briefly, inside the world of the Highlands and the Emerald Isle. These recipes are familiar, comforting, and utterly unforgettable. So brew a cup of strong tea, turn the page, and let the cooking begin.
