  • Café Cùil pancakes

      These pancakes are rich and delicious! The only tweak I'd make is to add more milk. The batter is very thick and doesn't spread much, meaning you end up with very thick pancakes that can burn on the outside before they are cooked on the inside. I added a few splashes of milk to make the batter easier to spread after cooking the first round of pancakes and found them much easier to work with while still being very fluffy and indulgent.

      Liked the recipe but didn't love it. Instructions were clear and I found the method of making labneh really straightforward.

Cùil: Scots Gaelic n. Nook, nest or corner

Cafe Cùil faces the sea just outside stunning Carbost in the Isle of Skye. In this idyllic setting, award-winning chef Clare Coghill celebrates Highland produce, reimagines traditional Scottish dishes and puts a Hebridean twist on some global ones - think tattie scone tacos, langoustine and whisky bisque, Highland shakshuka, seaweed sauerkraut and Bloody Mhairi.

The Cafe Cùil story began when Clare entered the Channel 4 series, My Kitchen Rules with an old friend in 2017. When they won, she started thinking that cooking might not be just a thing she did for fun, and in 2019 she opened the first Cafe Cùil in Hackney. It quickly became a hotspot for brunch lovers around London, until the covid lockdown forced a move home to Skye.

So welcome to the Cafe Cùil Cookbook. This isn’t a book that demands fancy techniques, instead it shows how easy it can be to cook delicious dishes without taking things too seriously, using many of the ingredients we have on our doorstep, whether you’re in Skye or Dalston.
