Scottish recipes

Scottish food deserves to be eaten throughout the year, not just on Burns Night. With incredible seafood, Scottish-reared meat and baked goods on offer, there are so many dishes to explore from the country. Celebrate all things Scottish with these recipes including haggis sausage rolls, black bun, cullen skink pie and a whisky toffee tart.

From iconic neeps and tatties with lashing of butter to an irresistibly simple cranachan dessert, our collection of recipes highlights why the world should care more about Scottish cuisine. Enjoy the warmth of Scotch broth, a hearty soup brimming with good-for-you flavour, indulge in a haggis shepherd’s pie (because you can) and enjoy the unbeatable buttery goodness of homemade shortbread with a cup of hot tea. Why not enhance your next roast dinner with whiksy gravy, and finish off a wintry meal with traditional clootie dumpling, a steamed fruit pudding to warm the cockles.

The robust flavours in these Scottish recipes are brilliant for a winter’s dinner party, whether you want to go a cheffy route or for more simple homemade fare. Whichever dishes you choose, we think you’ll agree there’s a rich history to the cuisine of Scotland, and that it deserves a little more attention, too.
