Coinneach MacLeod, best-selling cookbook author and social media personality, brings his deep love of food, travel and island life on a journey through the culinary and cultural landscapes of the Nordic region.

Sweden’s largest island of Gotland is known for its sunny climate and 13th century capital, Visby. Coinneach visits an organic farm to pick white asparagus and forages for wild garlic in the coastal woodlands.

He explores the island’s past as a trading hub for the Hanseatic League, learning how imported spices and crops became woven into Gotland’s agricultural identity. Coinneach makes saffron pancake and, in a local bakery, helps make Sweden’s famed green dome cake, Princess Cake.

Tha Coinneach MacLeòid, rionnag nan meadhanan-sòisealta agus sgrìobhadair leabhar còcaireachd, a’ toirt a’ chuid ùidh ann am biadh, siubhal agus beatha air eilean air turas do sgìrean Nòrdach le cliù airson biadh agus cultar.

Tha Gotland, an t-eilean Suaineach as motha, aithnichte airson a’ chuid aimsir ghrianach agus a’ phrìomh bhaile, Visby, a bhuinneas don 13mh linn deug. Tha Coinneach a’ tadhal air tuathanas organach airson asparagus geal a thogail agus a’ lorg creamh fiadhaich anns na sgìrean coillteach a tha faisg air a’ mhuir. Tha e ag ionnsachadh mu cho fìor chudromach ‘s a bha an t-eilean mar àite airson malairt san lìg Hansiatach, a’ faighinn a-mach mar a thàinig spìosraidhean agus lusrach bho dhùthchannan eile gu bhith nam pàirt riatanach de àiteachas Ghotland fhèin. Tha e a’ dèanamh foileag saffron agus a’ cuideachadh gus an cèic Suaineach uaine, Prinsesstårta, fhuine ann an taigh-fuine ionadail.
