Lovely way to spend Sunday afternoon at @islaybookfest @SueHLawrence launch of new Scottish Baking book. Interesting and inspiring Baking chat from Sue then Nicola #craigardkitchen served 3 delicious bakes from the book. Great event by Islay Book fest, Sue, and Craigard Team.

When too busy making chocolates to make traditional Xmas cake. I used my Christmas cake bar fruit mix and inspiration from @SueHLawrence whisky cake - soaked fruit mix in half a bottle of whisky overnight. Baked in bottom oven of everhot for 4 hours! Will need another!

What a fantastic weekend at @FoodFromArgyll food festival! Amazing local producers, fantastic workshops and great music. #Oban and #Argyll Rocks! Amazing to be part of such a fabulous Food group. The support, friendship and collaboration is so important for a small producer.
