RECIPES FROM THE OUTLANDER KITCHEN COOKBOOK

The recipe that started it all! The pigeon has been replaced with easier-to-find chicken thighs and the truffles with less-expensive, umami-rich dried mushrooms. 

Forfar Bridies are said to have first been made by Maggie Bridie, a traveling food seller who sold her hot, savory pies at the Buttermarket in Forfar, Forfarshire (now County Angus). 

This luscious smoked-fish soup is named for its hometown of Cullen in northeastern Scotland, on the shores of the Moray Firth.

Tender, southern-style buttermilk biscuits ready in a flash; no kneading or rolling required.
