StoolsEssential in any living room. An ANTA upholstered stool with its solid oak legs allows extra occasional seating which is firm enough to set a tray on and use as a coffee table.

Upholstered in our Highland Tweed, made from British yarn which is extremely hard wearing, an ANTA stool should last a lifetime. Stools can be upholstered in all of our fabric patterns and are available in four sizes:

Made to Measure CurtainsWe can make curtains to fit your windows. Simply give us the dimensions.

First put up a pole or rail. If possible this should be at least 20cm above the window opening and extend 20cm either side. It should also be placed at least 20cm below the ceiling, if the ceiling height allows.

Decide where you would like the curtains to start and finish. For example, in the case illustrated opposite we decided that when the curtains were fully closed we would like the curtain fabric to completely cover the end wall and the window. Therefore we took the measurement from floor to ceiling to establish the finished LENGTH.

To work out the required WIDTH, we need to know the total length of the pole or rail.

Once we have these TWO measurements we can work out how much cloth you will need and can give you an estimate for your curtains.

PaintTransform a space using colour, simply by choosing a suitable and sometimes unusual colour.

A good colour can make the difference between an ordinary and exciting interior. The ANTA paint range is a small and carefully edited collection.There are twenty beautiful and useful colours, which makes the decision much easier.

We chose ANTA Loch for this small en suite bathroom. We put matt emulsion on the walls and oil based eggshell on the cupboards.

A Saltire is a heraldic symbol in the form of a diagonal cross. It appears on the Scottish flag. We have made it our own by weaving it into our new lightweight scarves and earasaids.

The earasaid, essentially a large shawl is the feminine version of the kilt. Worn as a scarf during the day and more formally as a wrap in the evening. This versatile modern accessory updates a favourite dress.

'Transform even such simple activities as a picnic. How hideous and inflexible those fluorescent cool boxes appear after ANTA's utility bags in tweeds flecked with colours of the hill. They can be filled to bursting with frying pans and bottles, carried on shoulders across the dunes and then stuffed with swimming towels and jerseys to make big comfortable cushions.No more plastic beakers when you can warm your hands on a stoneware mug filled with tea brewed on a driftwood fire; they can be thrown in with the sausages and beers and never seem to break. Carpet a dune hollow with ANTA throws, and when the wind picks up, you can shake out the sand and use them to muffle heads and shoulders, or to wrap round shivering children as they emerge from the sea.'

Picnics

60

Often food tastes better when cooked and eaten outside. Picnics are certainly the best and simplest way to entertain friends and family of all ages. They also can be the most fun. The art to successful entertaining is to start with a spectacular setting.

Live Lobsters and CrabsShellfish is best cooked as soon as it is taken from the water. In Scotland the best place to get it is direct from the fishermen.

Simply boil sea water, drop in the shellfish and bring back up to the boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the water.Break the shells, take out the meat and eat it with freshly squeezed lemon juice dipped in homemade mayonnaise.

Lobsters like some ceramic glazes are a completely different colour before firing.

To watch the colour of lobsters change from dark blue to red, once they are cooked, never ceases to amaze.

Mayonnaise

8 egg yolks4 tsp mustard4tsp white wine vinegarsqueeze lemonpinch of salt pepperapprox. 1.2 litre (2 pints) rapeseed oil

Using a balloon whisk beat the egg yolks, mustard, salt and pepper together. Very gradually add the oil a drip at a time whisking well between each addition. Once you have added about half the oil the mayonnaise should be thick and may look lumpy. Add the vinegar and beat well. Add the rest of the oil in a thin stream, beating all the time. Once the mayonnaise has reached the desired consistency season adding further salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. You can of course use a hand mixer of food processer – you still need to add the oil gradually to prevent it curdling. Cooks tip: if the mayonnaise does curdle, simply whisk a further egg yolk in a clean bowl and gradually beat in drops of the curdled mixture followed by any remaining oil.

To serve divide between several small blackridge bowls.

Mix dried spices together, cube the meat and place the meat into an ANTA salad bowl and half the spice mixture and rub into the meat – its best to use your hands so the meat is evenly coated, leave in the fridge overnight (or for at least 2 hours).

Preheat the oven 160C / 140C fan / gas 2

Brown the meat in batches in olive oil and put aside, soften the sliced onion, garlic and fresh ginger adding further olive oil if necessary. Then stir in the remaining spices and stir for a couple of minutes. Add the meat back to the pan and stir well, add the stock and tins of tomatoes (note you may only need 1 tin, the liquid should cover the meat). Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the honey, apricots, dates, raisins/sultanas and almonds.

Transfer to an ANTA salad bowl and cover with a salad plate and simmer for about 2½ – 3 hrs until the meat is very tender.

Swirl the yoghurt into the meat and scatter over the coriander.

Pavlova

Having made the mayonnaise, now you have an excuse to make this fabulous pudding using the egg whites that are left over.

8 egg whites250g / 10oz caster sugar150g / 6oz icing sugar1 tbs white wine vinegar pinch of salt1 tbs cornflour

Preheat oven 180C / gas 4 (preferably do not use a fan oven) Lightly grease a Ruaridh Waugh serving plate.

In a large, dry bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric beater on high speed until it forms soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar about a tablespoon at a time and beat continuously until mixture is firm and glossy and sugar has dissolved. Beat in the vinegar and salt. Sift the cornflour and gently fold in. Using a spatula, spread mixture over the centre of the plate making the sides straight and higher than the centre.

Reduce the heat of the oven to 150C / gas 2 and cook for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the door slightly open, allow to cool in the oven.

300ml / ½ pt double creammix of fruits such as mango, pineapple, passion fruit, straw-berries, raspberries, melon

Whip the cream, pile into the centre of the Pavlova and top with the mixed fruit.

Possibly the best thing about ANTA stoneware is that you can cook this pudding and serve it on the same plate. This way there is less chance of breaking the meringue.

Sweet Canapés Pastry500g / 1lb plain flour200g / 8oz butterAbout 3 tbs cold water

Mince pies200g / 7oz mincemeat


Rub the butter into the flour until it resembled bread crumbs. Gradually add water and bring together with your hands adding more water if the dough feels dry. Divide into two balls, wrap in cling film and allow to chill in the fridge.

Roll out one of the pastry balls on a lightly floured surface to thickness of £1 coin.

Cut out circles with a plain 5.5cm / 2¼ inch biscuit cutter and an equal amount of stars with a 4cm / 1¾ inch cutter. Place the disc in the muffin tin being careful not to tear the pastry.

Fill each about two thirds full of mincemeat - place a pastry star over each mincemeat cup. Chill for about 15 minutes.

Apricot tartlets9 -12 apricotsmarzipan

Halve the apricots and remove stone.

Roll out remaining pastry balls - cut out circles with a the same biscuit cutter. Place the disc in the muffin tin. Half fill each with marzipan and top with a halved apricot. Chill for about 15 minutes.


Sprinkle the apricots with caster sugar. Place the trays of mince pies and apricot tartlets on preheated baking sheets and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the pastry stars on the mince pies are golden brown and the apricots are soft.

Serve warm lightly dusted with icing sugar.

Cook’s note: depending on the size of muffin tray you should make 18-24 of each canapé.
