Hot Tips
Porridge with salt
Porridge in Scotland is cooked slowly and gently to create a thick consistency. The Scots would never dream of sweetening their porridge, instead choosing to flavour it with salt.
Glossary
Parboil
To boil vegetables until half cooked. Used to part-cook potatoes and other hard root vegetables prior to roasting them at a high temperature to ensure that the inside is cooked while the outside crisps up well.
