Literary Lunch 

Join the Hebridean Baker, Coinneach MacLeod, for a literary lunch celebrating the food, culture and stories of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides.

Inspired by family recipes, Scottish flavours, island traditions and local myths, MacLeod shares the ideas behind his cookbooks and his travels exploring food and culture, including his series Hebridean Baker: Nordic Islands.

International best-selling author and BAFTA nominated BBC TV presenter Coinneach MacLeod, the Hebridean Baker was born and raised on the beautiful island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Inspired by family recipes, Scottish flavours and the myths & legends of the Hebrides, his four cookbooks have made him Scotland’s best-selling cookbook author.

His distinctive approach has earned him Scotland’s Food & Drink Influencer of the Year title as well as being given the Culture Award alongside Dr Who’s Ncuti Gatwa at the recent Scottish LGBTI+ awards – The Unicorns. Coinneach has also had eleven sell-out North American book tours over the past few years.
