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.

For a dainty little treat, Gregor bakes French friands. By using ground almonds, the sponge is so much richer and with the addition of blueberries and brambles there are colourful bursts of flavour throughout. To liven up lunchtime or a week night, fajitas are taken to another level with tortillas on the gridle.

Gregor doesn’t have to go far from home to sample delicious baking. Up the road in Breasclete he tastes fresh strawberry tarts made with sweet shortbread. He visits his auntie Ann who lives in the same village to try her show-stopping salmon en croute.

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.

Nì Griogar cèicean beaga milis aig a bheil buinteanas dhan Fhraing: tha almoin a’ fàgail na taoise nas beairtiche agus tha smeuran is gorm-dhearcan a’ cur blas air leth orra. Agus dh’ itheadh e fajitas aig biadh sa bith – gu h-àraid le na tortillas a rinn e fhèin air a ghreideal.

Chan eil fad’ aige ri dhol son fuine sgoinneil no dinnear bhlasta fhaighinn ann an taighean eile. Ann am Brèascleit gheibh e tortan sùbh-làir le taois bhrisg is milis – agus aig taigh piuthar a mhàthar, Anna, san aona bhaile, cha chuireadh e dad air thoiseach air a bhradan aice ann an slige taoise.
