Happy New Year from Scotland. Beautiful words to take to the kitchen. I've been in the mood for laminating something all Christmas but couldn't decide what to bake. Now that all the busyness is over, I can feel a 'supreme' afternoon ahead: radio on, a mug of tea, and hopefully no interruptions. Looking for more inspiration from you in 2024.

What a great way to start the year! 🙏🏼❤️🥐❤️🙏🏼

My daughter is leaving for Edinburgh for the semester in a few days. I hope her studies are as good as your kitchen.

Thanks for the note, Catriona.

Hi Martin, she'll have a great time. Edinburgh is where I studied. I had a visit from Maine in September of a friend who came to study for a year 40 years ago, and we've been friends ever since. If you get the chance to visit her come and visit our community kitchen in Glasgow too.

What a sweet and generous way to welcome this new year ... Those supremes steal the show but the cookies are calling my name (and I'm making that pastry cream like immediately). I landed on your Buckwheat story on KA. What an important piece (and nice surprise to see that it takes place in my old college stomping ground, early mornings spent watching the thick white mist slowly dissolving to expose Seneca Lake). How good that KA is giving small and regen farmers like Klaas the respect and markets they deserve. (ps - sick for Christmas, how cruddy! The photos above would suggest you're back to 100%, hoping that's true.)

Thank you Martin for sharing your message of hope and positivity! Am stocking my pantry up with it for the new year. I am grateful for what you share and am looking forward to more inspiration from you in 2024. Am now inspired to attempt The Winter Suprême and embrace the cold. All the best to you and happy new year. Peace!
