NOTES FROM THE NORTH
This is where we share the things that inspire us
The turning of the seasons. Life at home. Conversations with knitwear designers, crofters, authors, artists, cooks, gardeners and foragers. And all the little things that make Shetland a place like no other.
Oven-baked Smoked Haddock Risotto
A deeply comforting smoked haddock risotto that does most of the work itself. You hand it over to the oven, and trust it.
Czech Christmas Biscuits: A Taste of Childhood
Delicate, buttery and dusted in fragrant vanilla sugar, these traditional Czech vanilkové rohlíčky are a true taste of Christmas. A timeless festive classic, they’re perfect for slow winter walks, cosy moments with coffee or tea, and sharing with the people you love.
Root Vegetable Upside Down Tart with Goat Cheese and Walnut Pastry
This is a great vegetarian recipe that I have made on several occasions for guests on Shetland Wool Adventures dinners.
Warm Cavolo Nero, Sweet Potato and Halloumi Salad
When I put together this warm salad with sautéed sweet potatoes and toasted halloumi it instantly became my favourite.
Risotto with Smoked Haddock
Fresh haddock is Shetland’s most popular and highest-selling fish.
