Recipes

Ever wanted to make a traditional British dish, but been flummoxed by the instructions - or thwarted by the lack of a particular ingredient? Here's a few recipes to help you out!

Haggis: Meg Dod's haggis recipe.
Sorpotel: "I think if I had known the ingredients I might never have tried this wonderful dish. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed. It is so succulent it melts in your mouth. It also has a bit of a spicy kick, which you would expect, it coming from Zanzibar." Ian Williamson takes us through the recipe for this spicy meat dish.
Stovies: Fit Aboot A Stoved Tattie? Mike Clark's recipe for stovies.
Suet and Suet-Free Dumplings: It's mid afternoon and the sky is dark grey. The rain hasn't let up, and it's cold as well as miserable. Fancy a salad, anyone? No way! Let's have some good old British stodge.
Tuna Fishcakes with Chutney Yoghurt Sauce: "Even my brother (who hates tuna) loved these. Great as an appetiser, or skip the peppers and the fish cakes make a great children's meal, particularly because you get to eat them with your fingers." Ian Williamson with a great twist on fishcakes!
White Chocolate Mousse: This is a delicious light dessert. It doesn't take long to make but does require a bit of skill, so it's probably not suitable for beginners.
Yam Cashew Nut Loaf: Vegetarian recipe for yam cashew nut loaf.
Yorkshire Pudding: These are easy to make and tasty with any roast dinner.
