Mairi MacRitchie is in the Highlands and islands meeting some of the country's finest cooks and bakers, who share with her their favourite and most treasured recipes.

In this programme Mairi is in Skye, Harris and Uist gathering delicious comfort food recipes. When only something nostalgic and warming will fit the bill, it's these recipes that you turn to.

Mairi shows us her recipe for the perfect macaroni cheese covered in crispy bacon and breadcrumbs, and she shows us how to make rhubarb crumble, the ultimate comfort food pudding.

But comfort food doesn't always have to mean a well-known recipe followed by the book. In Skye Mairi meets two fantastic cooks who have put their own spin on traditional comfort foods. They show her the perfect rice pudding spiced up with just a grating of nutmeg and a crunchy caramelised sugar topping, and a delicious, zesty bread and a butter pudding using panettone slathered with marmalade.
