This is an omnibus edition of A House by the Shore and Scarista Style. The first book documents Alison and Andrew Johnson's retreat from urban life to the beautiful rugged landscape of the island of Harris. They make their home in the old manse at Scarista, turning a rat-infested near-ruin into a major hotel boasting the Prince of Wales among its guests and consistent listing in good food guides. The second book is a collection of Alison's recipes, with asides on the Good Food scene. Containing an assortment of vegetarian, fish and meat dishes, this is a guide for transforming natural ingredients into award-winning cuisine.
