Healthy Scottish Recipes: Food Tip of the Day - Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

It is not often that the phrase, "Healthy Scottish recipes," is included on any food blog, website or in any cookbook. It is fairly safe to say that most Scottish recipes are considered outside Scotland to be anything but healthy. While there are of course a great many faults in the eating habits of the Scots, to generalise by saying that there are no such thing as healthy Scottish recipes is not only grossly unfair but wholly inaccurate. Historically, Scottish recipes have been devised around the freshest of seafood, the finest quality beef and lamb and hardy root vegetables fresh from the rugged ground. The Scots even had a most unique way of making a bread equivalent, prior to the introduction to the country of bread ovens, called soda scones. This means that there are a great many healthy Scottish recipes to be found, which are not only healthy but incredibly tasty.

The site linked to immediately below examines some of these recipes in our continued run-up to Burns' Night 2010 and will hopefully go at least some way to convinving the sceptics of the worth of my claim.
