"As a little girl I spent so much time with him in the kitchen, cooking, baking, studying old and discovering new recipes. Basically he thought me everything…hmmm maybe apart from maintaining a clean workspace, that’s on my mum.
"But while I was home I asked him to cook something together. Lately my dad came back to hiking so we decided to make a traditional highlander’s Moskole - cooked mash potato’s pancakes."
