Mairi MacRitchie is in the Highlands and islands meeting skilful home bakers with a passion for food. They share with her their favourite recipes for cakes, pies and puddings for that special occasion when guests are coming round and you need something to really impress.
In this episode Mairi samples a variety of delicious and adventurous treats from Lewis to Skye. She tries cupcakes for adult, delicate little cakes but with the added kick of gin and tonic, and decadent profiteroles filled with rich chocolate mousse. For a savoury main course she tries a venison pie filled with tender meat, cranberries and chestnuts.
From her own kitchen in Uist Mairi also makes her own recipes to impress. She makes her striking walnut cake with a brilliant-white American frosting and a meringue roulade with a crunchy almond crust filled with fresh raspberries.

When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series about the Canadian West, the series tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
