"THE TIPSY LAIRD"
While researching my geanology, I found an abundance of Scottish and Irish in our background. Soon after, I was introduced to an excellent series of novels by author Diana Gabaldon (historical fiction) titled "Outlander". This began my Scottish "obsession" and I felt inspired to create a flavor in honor of the main character, James Alexander Malcolm McKenzie Fraser.
Thus "The Tipsy Laird" was created!
"The Tipsy Laird" is an orange whisky cake with dark chocolate bits, a raspberry puree swirled throughout the top and finished with an orange whisky glaze.
If you enjoy reading, I highly recommend these very well written books that have also become popluar on Starz.
If you are a fan of the books or Scottish foods in general, I also recommend "Outlander Kitchen", a recently released companion cookbook by Chef Theresa Carle-Sanders who has done a phenomenal job compiling recipes from Outlander and has displayed them in a beautiful cookbook!
