This is definitely a dinner that’ll impress your family and guests. So delicious! Thank you for making me look like a rockstar in the kitchen.

Jen

This recipe is AMAZING! It was simple to make and so delicious! My husband normally does all of the cooking, but he was very impressed when I pulled this out of the bag!

Jenna

Made these for my wife’s baby shower. I’m not a baker but I was successful in following the directions! They turned out so beautifully amazing! Once, when I tried lavender in an ice cream I fell in love with the floral and light taste and thought to look up a donut and was lucky enough to find this recipe. Try it out, you won’t regret it!

Daniel

Potato and leek soup is one of my all-time favourite soups. This one is perfectly smooth and creamy, delicious.

Exploring Shetland

In January 2022 my partner Robin and I took a much-needed short winter break here in Shetland, hiring the new spacious Sunlight A72 motorhome from Explore Shetland Motorhome Hire. We used it as a base for doing what we love most: biking and hiking around some of Shetland’s stunningly dramatic coastlines.
