Fuine S02E08 - Cooking for a Drinks Party

In this programme, Mairi is in Islay and Lewis gathering tasty recipes for a fabulous drinks party. Her cooks are on hand with suggestions that will make any tummy rumble, from little filo parcels filled with chicken and a satay sauce to crusty slices of homemade soda bread with smoked salmon cream cheese. These little morsels are the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine or dram.

Canapes at a drinks party don't always have to be savoury, and Mairi meets some skilled bakers who show her how to make some dainty little sweets. She's treated to macarons, deliciously chewy with a lemon curd and mascarpone filling, and baklava, a syrupy, nutty filo pastry slice. Your guests certainly won't be complaining.
