RECIPE FOLDER- WANT TO SHARE YOUR FAVORITE SCOTTISH RECIPES?

[Joan E. Zaher]

Hello Dunardry

I think that is a really neat idea. So, let me get you all started with these two suggestions.

1- Clan MacTavish's Pantry

2. Old Time Scottish Recipes

Now, let us hear from all the rest of you clansmen out there. I bet you can come up with some good titles.

How about "The Chiefs' table"
or even better "Dugalds Kitchen" to honor your father
who brought the Clan back to life!!

Great names!!

Let's have a few more ideas and I'll pick one and we'll have the link up and running in no time.

That's easy for me to say since it's William who will have to make it happen!

What about MacTavish's Kitchen?

I like MacTavish's Kitchen, in honor of one of Dugald's favorite places in Oban.....

Obvious or Not?

What if some enterprising Clan member that knows how (definitely not me) put all these fine suggestions into a cook book that we could sell at our tents at gatherings?

Excellent idea Charlie!

It's that kind of fresh thinking that we need. The more ideas the better.

Hi Chief, Charlie and Sherry:

I had thought about MacTavish's Kitchen. It is a great idea. I had one concern and that is that the people who own the Mac Tavish restaurant in Scotland might object to us using their name.

Keep those thoughts rolling in.

Love Apple Seafood Soup

A variation on My Grandma Thompson’s recipe (lard is omitted)
(Love Apple is the Scottish name for tomato.)

Amount/Measure/Ingredient

1 can stewed Tomatos (10 oz or larger) (Plain stewed tomatos, but if you can’t find them Italian style is just barely okay.)
1/2 medium white or yellow onion diced (the whole onion if you really like onion)
6 ounces of Salmon
6 ounces of Tuna
1 stick (1/4 cup) Butter (not margarine)
Pinch of salt and black pepper (to taste)
1 can of cheddar cheese soup or sauce.

Salmon and Tuna, best if fresh, but canned will do. Separate Tuna and Salmon into pieces. This is to be sauteed in butter along with the diced onions. Brown the Salmon and Tuna (make sure its cooked if fresh) in a little bit of butter, then add the onions, and just barely brown the onions. (set aside)

Cut the stewed tomato into bite sided pieces, save all the liquid and add to a pot.

In a pot, add the stewed tomatos (plus liquid) and cheddar cheese soup/sauce, and heat to a simmer.

Add the stick of butter and melt. Then add the browned Tuna, Salmon and diced onions. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Bring the mix to a boil, then reduce the heat to low simmer, cover and cook for one hour, stirring occasionally.

This is great on a cold winter day, when you have been outside shoveling snow. But don’t wait till next winter to try it.

Fellow Clanmembers.

I suspect we are missing a golden opportunity here. There has got to be someone in this Clan that knows how to cook haggis BBQ. It is time for them to come forward and reveal how we satisfy that longing. Remember, it is for the good of the Clan!

I started thinking about the ideas presented: a separate forum for sharing recipes, a fundraising cookbook. I find my self quite interested in the recipes that have a story or family history, like snapshots associated with the recipe. So here are my submissions:

Recipe Album - for the online forum name

For the cookbook -
A Scots Family Recipe Album
From Clan MacTavish

The idea of the cookbook for fundraising is great! What a wonderful project to pull Clan members into joining forces from all over the world. Do we have any writers, editors, publishers, photographers among us? Do we know of other clans that have cookbooks? How do we make ours outstanding? That should get our creative juices flowing! BBQ'd Haggis . . . now there's a challenge!

Aye,
Jennifer

Hahaha, I just got back from visiting my daughter in LA. Enough said.

Aye,

I am still waiting for the haggis recipe - one that I could actually make, since I don't have access to a sheep's stomach.
