Mairi MacRitchie travels the Highlands and Islands meeting experienced home bakers who know that classic recipes which work well every time will never go out of fashion. From South Uist to Eynort on Skye Mairi samples the recipes her home cooks can always depend upon.

She tastes traditional Cornish pasties with fantastically crisp pastry and a tender meat and vegetable filling. The cooks show her that the simplest things are often the best. Lemon posset only uses three ingredients but makes a delightfully refreshing after-dinner treat.

Mairi also takes on some traditional recipes herself and shows us they can be easier than we think. She bakes a Battenberg cake with its colourful sponge squares wrapped in a thick layer of marzipan and she shares her tips for a classic cherry cake to ensure the lightest of sponges with evenly dispersed sweet glacé cherries throughout.
