Episode 4
Mairi MacRitchie travels the Highlands and Islands meeting experienced home bakers who know that classic recipes which work well every time will never go out of fashion. From South Uist to Eynort on Skye, Mairi samples the recipes her home cooks can always depend upon. She tastes traditional Cornish pasties with fantastically crisp pastry and a tender meat and vegetable filling. The cooks show her that the simplest things are often the best, such as lemon posset, which uses only three ingredients but makes a delightfully refreshing after-dinner treat.
Mairi also takes on some traditional recipes herself and shows us they can be easier than we think. She bakes a Battenberg cake, with its colourful sponge squares wrapped in a thick layer of marzipan, and she shares her tips for a classic cherry cake to ensure the lightest of sponges with evenly dispersed sweet glace cherries throughout.

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.
