Food Whisky Life

Description

When hospitality comes from the heart it is the simplest gift you can give. It costs nothing, but it can mean everything.’

An internationally acclaimed writer, broadcaster and food anthropologist with fingers in several pies, Ghillie Başan is renowned for her work on Turkish, Middle Eastern, and Moroccan food. She has travelled the world extensively to research and write over 50 books on different culinary cultures and has unparalleled expertise on the use of spices.

Food Whisky Life is inspired by Scotland’s fantastic produce, wild food, and whisky, and the mouth-watering recipes are infused with Ghillie’s vast knowledge of spices and food pairings with whisky. Food Whisky Life is also a testament to the strength of the human spirit, a celebration of culinary diversity, and an invitation to experience food, whisky, and life with all the senses.

In it, Ghillie writes honestly, from the heart, to paint an inspirational picture of family life and what it takes to grow a successful hospitality business in one of the wildest and most beautiful corners of Scotland.

“It is hard to summarise Ghillie in a few sentences as she is such an extraordinary woman who has lived an exceptionally interesting and adventurous life… The book is part memoir and part recipe book, and it is absolutely compelling in both regards. Her spirit, resilience, and intrepid nature make for an inspiring read.” Charlotte Pike MBE.
