Shetland is where Scotland meets Scandinavia and the North Sea hits the Atlantic Ocean. Isolated, unspoilt and rich in history and tradition, Shetland is a truly singular place.

James Morton grew up there. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters, here cooks, farmers, crofters and fishermen toil following traditions that go back hundreds of years.

The recipes take in the very best that the isles have to offer, from celebratory feasts (the tradition of 'foy') through the food of the sea to treasures from the land and earth. There's also thrift smoking and preserving (home-smoked halibut, pickles) and it simply wouldn't be Scottish without baking (bannocks, oatcakes, afternoon cakes and biscuits) and, of course, a wee dram.

Co-written with his father, broadcaster and journalist Tom Morton, Shetland: Cooking on the Edge of the World explores life on an island with food, drink and community at its heart.
