A brand-new new cookery book from Masterchef finalist Sarah Rankin, showcasing the extraordinary versatility of Scottish produce. Kith is a collection of practical, seasonal dishes mixing the traditional and the contemporary which celebrates the extraordinary versatility of Scotland’s larder in a hundred recipes.

MasterChef finalist Sarah Rankin has a passion for Scottish produce and flavours and for feeding people. Being a food lover encompasses not just a passion for the ingredients themselves, but also for the seasons and weather which nurture them, and the people who tend, harvest and prepare them. Taking those ingredients and creating something delicious for those you love is the highest compliment you can pay any vegetable, beast, fish or fowl. In Kith, Sarah shares stories on her family favourites, the inspiration for her recipes, and why food is the greatest way to show your love.

Kith is a collection of practical and inviting seasonal dishes, mixing the traditional and the contemporary, and celebrating the extraordinary versatility of Scotland’s larder in a hundred recipes: from Grouse with beetroot and cherry, to Arbroath smokie souffle, Squash ravioli with sage butter, and Lemon posset with caramelised white chocolate and oat crumble. It also includes a section of drinks and canapes. The chapter 'Things of Beauty' encompasses brines, pickles, ketchups and a range of other extras that make the food you serve shine a little brighter, and a section named 'Firm Foundations' helps to arm the home cook with a repertoire of sauces, stocks, pastry, bread and pasta, and butters and creams.

Since being a MasterChef finalist in 2022, Sarah Rankin’s career has expanded from marketing to a new life as a food writer, chef demonstrator, recipe development specialist and private dining caterer. She regularly appears at food festivals, demos and shows, writes a monthly column the Courier’s Menu magazine and also contributes to other food and drink publications. She often contributes to the BBC Radio Scotland Morning Show.
