Arran Blue Cheese
packed with protein, this rich and flavourful soufflé is great as a side or starter
This one is easier than it sounds, though there are a few tips that will make a difference;
The bowl used for whisking the egg whites and the whisk, needs to be spotlessly clean, dry and cool
When you put your soufflé in the oven do not open the door for a sneaky peek before times up!
The soufflé should be served immediately though you can prepare hours in advance before cooking if you stick to the recipe
Enjoy!
Cullen Skink Pie
Smoked haddock & leeks in a creamy sauce with mashed potato
It's a reinvention of the well-known Scottish soup recipe which appears in many traditional Scottish cookery books and hotel and restaurant menus. It takes its name from the town of Cullen in Moray, and 'Skink' is an old Scots word for shin, knuckle or hough. Enjoy.
