Scots Kitchen, The

’The best book ever written about Scottish food.’--Derek Cooper

The Scots Kitchen, first published in 1929, gives a delightful account of eating and drinking in Scotland through the ages with definitive recipes for all the old national dishes. As well as being the most important book on Scottish cookery yet to appear, it is a work to refer to and savour again and again. Its practical value and charm increase as the years go by.    

F. Marian McNeill (1885-1973) was a journalist and writer with a deep love of Scots language, lore and traditions. She also wrote The Scots Cellar, a celebration of Scotland's love of whisky, wine, beer and other drinks, and a classic study of Scots folklore, The Silver Bough.
