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 recipe and also shares some of his own.

Ever experimenting with flavours, Gregor demonstrates the merits of honey. His recipe for Swiss roll uses honey in the sponge as well as in the filling. He also revisits a classic, treacle tart, but in his recipe he adds pecan nuts for a tasty crunch to complement the sweet filling.

Travelling the islands to taste fantastic home baking, Gregor munches his way through cheese and leek muffins. These would be the perfect partner to a warming bowl of soup. He also meets a baker who combines sweet and salty in one traybake. By using salted snack pretzels she balances out the sweetness in her crunchy marshmallow and popcorn slice.

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.

Chan eil blas nach fheuch Griogar uair no uairigin – ach tha e a’ sior mholadh buadhan na meala. Tha e a’ dèanamh cèic-rola le mil ga lìonadh agus sa chèic. Agus tha tort trèigeil fa-near dha – ach le cnòthan pecan na luib ach am bi e brisg is blasta.

A’ siubhal nan eilean an tòir air deagh bhiadh, tha Griogar fortanach greim fhaighinn air mufainean le càise is cneamh-gàrraidh: sgoinneil le bobhla brot theth. Agus tha e a’ tachairt air tè a chuireas blasan saillte is siùcrach còmhla ann an aona chèic-treadha. Tha i den bheachd nach bi na suiteas mhilis air fheadh cho buileach milis, le pretzels shaillte nam measg.
