In this episode of Space to Think, I speak with Clare Coghill, chef and owner of Café Cuil on the Isle of Skye.

Clare shares her journey from growing up in a family-run hotel, to building her own café in East London, to returning home to Skye just as the pandemic reshaped everything. She talks about:

• How Skye and the seasons shape her menus and her creativity

• The influence of Gaelic language and culture in her work

• The realities of hospitality - from resilience to community

• The process of creating her first cookbook, a collection of five years of seasonal dishes

This is a conversation about creativity, community, and the courage to keep going.

Clare’s cookbook publishes on 4th November. Pre-order here: Cafe Cuil Cookbook
