About the Hebridean Baker

The Hebridean Baker is Coinneach MacLeod who was born and raised on the Isle of Lewis the most northerly of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.


Inspired by traditional family recipes and homegrown produce, Coinneach rose to fame as the Hebridean Baker on Tik Tok in 2020. He has motivated his worldwide followers to bake, forage, learn Gaelic, enjoy a dram or two of whisky and to seek a more wholesome, simple life.


Along with his partner Peter and their Westie Seoras, Coinneach’s aim is to bring the best of the Scottish islands to a worldwide audience.


His first cookbook, Recipes and Wee Stories from the Scottish Islands, was published in 2021. From croft loaf to cranachan chocolate bombs, and oaty apricot cookies to Harris Gin cocktails, there’s something for everyone.


His new book, My Scottish Island Kitchen, followed in 2022. It’s packed with wonderful stories and fabulous photography and includes lovely recipes divided into chapters including Scottish recipes, cakes and biscuits, cosy weekend dishes, bread & scones, afternoon tea recipes and much more.


You’ll find some of these recipes in the Hebridean Baker section of our recipe library, and on the Hebridean Baker website.
