Episode 4

Gregor makes his grannie鈥檚 gingerbread and classic Scottish tablet, and adds his own flair to her fishcake recipe.

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 grannie鈥檚 version of gingerbread and her recipe for classic Scottish tablet. Gregor鈥檚 cousin Flora calls in to taste the gingerbread and she tells him of her memories of grannie making tablet at the stove.

To find out more about cooking in the family, he talks to his auntie Ann and borrows a pudding bowl from her. This will come in handy for grannie鈥檚 recipe for steamed apple dumpling. Shaking things up, Gregor takes grannie鈥檚 recipe for fishcakes and adds his own flair. He smokes his own fish over a bed of woodchips, herbs and pink peppercorns before flaking it through mashed potato to make the fishcakes. He serves them with his own home-made tartare sauce.
