With a just-completed US tour under his belt and his own BBC TV show in the pipeline, the profile of the Hebridean Baker (aka Coinneach MacLeod) is very much on the rise at home and abroad. Next up for the best-selling author and TikTok star is The Scottish Cookbook, his fourth collection of recipes and stories inspired by island life. As well as mixing food, folklore and travel in his books, MacLeod encourages fans to learn a bit of Gaelic too; he’s also become something of an LGBT+ icon along the way. Look out for the hirsute Hebridean on his October/November UK tour.

Hebridean Baker: The Scottish Cookbook by Coinneach MacLeod is out now, published by Black & White.
