Mairi MacRitchie is in the Highlands and Islands meeting the country's most passionate cooks and home bakers. They share with her the secret to the perfect after dinner treat. With guests gathered round the table it has to perfectly round off a delicious meal.

From Stornoway to Portree Mairi samples a range of delicious desserts. She sees how presentation as well as preparation is key as she tastes a cappuccino panna cotta that can be made beforehand and served in dainty china teacups. She also tries an eve's pudding with pear and raspberry - the perfect winter warmer.

Mairi always looks forward to pudding at the end of a meal. Her recipe for lemon surprise pudding separates in the oven to a zingy custard and a light lemon sponge. A fresh summer fruit tart with rich custard will be enough to tempt your guests and everyone at the table will suddenly have room for the final course.
