Whilst working on the Isle of Skye this summer at the wonderful Greshornish House http://www.greshornishornishouse.com on the Ardnamurchan peninsula with Neil and Rosemary Colquhoun. They helped me sharpen my skills in the home baking department. Afternoon teas with Millionaires shortbread, scones, rich fruit cakes, lemon and poppy seed cake were some of the items I made for the guests afternoon pick ups.
My evenings after work would be taken up by reading cook books and the one that caught my eye had input from the owners, whilst they were teaching at Eton College. This recipe with all of life's ups and downs is part of the blog I would like to explore "Food for Thought"
