$Clare Coghill - Caf\u00e9 C\u00f9il Cookbook$

Dramatic recipes from a dramatic locale - Clare Coghill joins us with recipes from her Isle of Skye cafe in the lead up to Burns Night.
Cuil: Scots Gaelic n. Nook, nest or corner
Cafe Cuil faces the sea just outside stunning Carbost in the Isle of Skye. In this idyllic setting, award-winning chef Clare Coghill celebrates Highland produce, reimagines traditional Scottish dishes and puts a Hebridean twist on some global ones - think tattie scone tacos, langoustine and whisky bisque, Highland shakshuka, seaweed sauerkraut and Bloody Mhairi.
The Cafe Cuil story began when Clare entered the Channel 4 series, My Kitchen Rules with an old friend in 2017. When they won, she started thinking that cooking might not be just a thing she did for fun, and in 2019 she opened the first Cafe Cuil in Hackney. It quickly became a hotspot for brunch lovers around London, until the covid lockdown forced a move home to Skye.
So welcome to the Cafe Cuil Cookbook. This isn't a book that demands fancy techniques, instead it shows how easy it can be to cook delicious dishes without taking things too seriously, using many of the ingredients we have on our doorstep, whether you're in Skye or Dalston.
