Scotland is renowned for its rich tradition of baking.

The book begins by outlining the baking substitutes you will need for dairy butter, eggs and milk as well as alternative sweeteners, spices and flours. It then provides recipes for Basics, including Lemon Curd, Sweet Wholemeal Shortcrust Pastry, Whipped Cream and Salted Date Caramel that you can use time-and-time again.

The following sections cover Biscuits – from Abernethy Biscuits to Shortbread; Bread, Buns, Oatcakes and Fruit Loaves – including Baps, Barm Loaf and the famous Selkirk Bannock. Further sections cover Cakes such as Dundee Cake and Sticky Gingerbread; Scones; Tarts – including Border Tart and Ecclefechan Tart – and lastly Tray Bakes such as Flapjacks and Tiffin. The book closes with suggestions for holding your own ‘Cookie Shine’ – a Scottish vegan ‘afternoon tea’.
