Mairi MacRitchie gathers recipe ideas from fellow cooks across the Highlands for times when people are rushed off their feet and need something quick and tasty. From a filling spaghetti dish that can be whipped up in a quarter-of-an-hour to a sponge ready in half-an-hour. For those unexpected visitors that call for a ceilidh, Mairi prepares a dumpling in a matter of minutes using the microwave, and a light soup that can feed a horde of hungry mouths almost immediately.
