I Discovered a Baking Scot... Coinneach MacLeod


I had heard about Coinneach MacLeod, mostly because I automatically 'click' concerning other authors... especially Scottish authors. Imagine my surprise when my son returned from the Ashville (NC) Celtic Festival and presented me with an autographed copy of his book The Hebridean Baker.


I immediately added flags to the pages of recipes I felt I might be able to create. It will take some doing to covert a few things (such as caster sugar, treacle, and bicarbonate of soda) but the author has a page showing conversions. My son bought himself an autographed copy of The Hebridean Baker at Home. Here's to baking with a homespun Scottish flare!



About the author (taken from his book): International bestselling author Coinneach MacLeod was born and raised on the Isle of Lewis, the most northerly of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland ... Sharing his adventures along with his partner Peter and their Westie pup Seores, Coinneach's aim is to bring the best of the Scottish islands to a worldwide audience. You can find him at hebrideanbaker.com

My husband has a birthday coming soon so I will choose one or two recipes to try. Giving that we are both of Scottish descent, I am thrilled to read and reread my book while I find time to create more of my own books.
