Delving into his granny’s old recipe book, Gregor reinvents her recipe for shortbread.

Some of the country’s best home bakers welcome Gregor MacLeod into the kitchen to show him their favourite recipes. As a professional cook and baker he knows that you can’t put a price on a tried and tested recipes and also shares some of his own.

Delving into his granny’s old cook book, Gregor reinvents her recipe for traditional shortbread. But he puts a modern twist on it by adding dried apple, a hint of spice and toffee pieces. Hopefully granny would approve!

He makes a pudding that showcases the magic and science of baking. His chocolate mousse cake uses the same mixture to make a rich chocolate cake base and a light chocolate mousse topping.

Out and about meeting skilled home cooks and bakers, Gregor is treated to a passion fruit surprise pudding and he tastes a recipe using haggis, neeps and tatties but as you’ve never seen them before - in a soup.

Bho dhachaigh ann an Calanais seallaidh Griogar MacLeòid dhuinn iomadh greim blasta, eadar fuine na dùthcha san t-seann nòs, gu nithean ùr is inntinneach. Innsidh eileanaich eile dha na cuilbheartan a th’ acasan son na cèicean, na bonnaich sna briosgaidean is fheàrr.

Tha seann leabhar aig Griogar sam biodh a sheanmhair a’ sgrìobhadh dòighean-fuine a bha i a’ cleachdadh – nam measg, aran-goirid. Ach tha esan a’ cur a dhreach fhèin air, le ubhal thioram, spìosradh agus sgealban tofaidh na luib. Chan eil rian nach còrdadh e rithe! Nì e mìlsean a tha letheach eadar draoidheachd agus saidheans...aona mheasgadh sa bhobhla, ach aig a cheann thall tha cèic gu h-ìosal is mousse gu h-àrd.

Mìlsean eile nuair a tha e muigh a’ tachairt air caraidean, ach passionfruit an turus sa; agus - cò smaoinich air tagais a chur ann am brot, cuide ri buntàta is tuineap?
