Episode 2

Gregor MacLeod takes on the classics shortbread and marmalade. Grannie has five recipes for shortbread alone, but Gregor has to pick just one.

Gregor MacLeod inherited his grannie鈥檚 old cookery book. In it she had written down over 50 recipes by hand and Gregor has set himself the challenge of cooking his way through them.

He takes on the classics shortbread and marmalade. Grannie has five recipes for shortbread alone but Gregor has to pick one. And the instructions for marmalade are sparing, so in search of advice he visits his neighbour, a prize-winning marmalade maker.

A real challenge is grannie鈥檚 recipe for oxtail stew. He visits another neighbour, a crofter, who happens to have one in the freezer and finds out more about this cut of meat and how to cook it. And guess who is coming to tea to taste the finished stew?

For pudding, grannie鈥檚 recipe for Bakewell tart is on the menu but this time with Gregor鈥檚 21st century twist using the marmalade he made before.

Fhuair Griogar MacLe貌id seann leabhar c貌caireachd a sheanmhair mar dh矛leab: comhairle na l脿mh-sgr矛obhaidh fh猫in air c貌rr is lethcheud dinnear is greim blasta a dh猫anamh. Tha Griogar a鈥� cur roimhe a鈥� dol tron a leabhar a鈥� feuchainn orra.

Sa phr貌gram seo tha e a鈥� cumail ri biadh as aithne dhuinn uile, aran goirid agus marmailead. Bha c貌ig d貌ighean aig granaidh ar aran-goirid a dh猫anamh ach feumaidh Griogar aon a thaghadh. Chan eil cus comhairle aice dha mun mharmailead, is tha sin ga chur a shireadh beachd air n脿baidh, a ghl猫idh duaisean air a shon.

F矛or annas do Ghriogar, se na bh鈥� aice ri r脿dh mu earball mairt a bhruich. Ach tha n脿baidh eile le fear re貌dhta a-staigh, agus gheibh Griogar barrachd comhairle air d猫 n矛 e leis. Agus saoil c貌 thig ga fheuchainn nuair a bhios e bruich?
Airson m矛lsean, tha tort Bakewell gu bhi aige agus cuiridh e a dhreach fh猫in air le marmailead na luib.
