'This is so easy to cook - I usually steam or boil haggis, but I will always bake it from now on.'

    I live in Yemen for part of the year and did this whole menu from Good Food for a Burn's Supper that we held out here. We had about 6 nationalities and I cooked all the Haggis in this way, it was perfect and the Yemeni people loved it. I will repeat the whole menu again in January 2008. (Minus the puff pastry as it is not too good out here, much to thin for the recipe! The first time I used this recipe was for a Burns Supper that we had at home in Scotland and it was a huge success with the Salmon starter. Thank you Good Food!

    Neeps are not better known as swedes, as you say above, except in England. In Scotland, what the English call swedes are called turnips, thus shortened to neeps (the 'nips' part of the word turnip).

    I have never cooked haggis this way before I usually slice and fry it. It was very good cooked in the oven and it seemed to accentuate the spicy flavour.

    I had been up to Kirkudbright for a week-end and bought two freshly made haggis from a local butcher. The only chance I normally get to eat haggis is at a Scottish friend's house every year at Burn's night, when I traditionally address the haggis. This is a great honour for a Sassenach. The master-chef at the hotal where we stayed had very kindly given me a recipe for whiskey/honey/cream/thyme sauce for dressing the wee beastie. If anyone fancies the recipe, let me know; it's gorgeous. I roasted the haggis as per spec, then cut it into slices about 3 cm thick. In between each slice of haggis, I put a dollop of creamed tatties, then poured the cream sauce over the top. I made four portions, for myself, my wife, my son and a family friend. The haggis went down very well - and very fast.

    I am interested in the "shutterbug" recipe for the whiskey/honey/cream/thyme dressing to serve with the baked haggis. Can you help?

    Being Scottish I was taught to cook haggis this way by my Mum and Grandmother. I have tried haggis boiled but always found it a bit stodgy and I felt that you lost some of clean flavours and texture you get with baking the haggis. If you find haggis a bit dry or would like to add that something special to the meal then make either a whisky or whisky & mustard or drambuie sauce to serve over the haggis. My favourite is the whisky sauce I find that the complex notes of the whisky just work so well with spicy flavours of the haggis. I've added these recipes to the website for anyone willing to try them.
