The Art of Coorie How to Live Happy the Scottish Way

"It's high time the concept of coorie was more widely known. We've long valued the thought here in Scotland and now it can go out to the wider world and wrap up more folk, make them warm and well. Coorie is good for the heart and the soul." - NEIL OLIVER, presenter of BBC's Coast "Like a good malt whisky, The Art of Coorie shines Scotland in a ... more »lovely warm glow." - KIRSTY WARK, presenter of BBC's Newsnight Coorie - or còsagach in Gaelic - is the Scottish version of hygge. In The Art Of Coorie , Gabriella Bennett explores what coorie is and how it has helped nurture the astonishing creativity that Scotland is famed for, despite an often harsh and unforgiving climate. The Art of Coorie explores lifestyle, homes and interiors, traditions, and how to enjoy life despite challenging elements. It looks at how to appreciate what we have around us and how to use the best of all things Scottish to enhance life and its pleasures. PRAISE FOR THE ART OF COORIE "I was completely charmed by The Art of Coorie . It is a fine word indeed and a deeply pleasing notion. Gabriella's musings and discoveries are timely. All of my associations with coorie come from childhood ? being invited to feel welcome, safe and loved, close by the side of someone making just enough room. It's high time the concept of coorie was more widely known. We've long valued the thought here in Scotland and now it can go out to the wider world and wrap up more folk, make them warm and well. Coorie is good for the heart and the soul." - NEIL OLIVER, presenter of BBC's Coast and author of A History of Scotland " The Art of Coorie is a wonderful celebration of contemporary Caledonian cool." - GEOFF ALLAN, author of The Scottish Bothy Bible "There is nothing better than coorie-ing down to a good book, cosy in cashmere with a stiff, salty gin in hand (Harris, of course!). Gabriella Bennett plugs you straight into the most stylish of Scottish lifestyle trends. Everyone in Alba knows how to do a cracking coorie, and for the rest of the world this guide will have you native in no time." - LYNNE COLEMAN, author of The Fashion Annual " The Art of Coorie shows it is possible to be sumptuous and simple at the same time. A gem of a book that offers a new perspective on Scotland." - LOUISE WELSH, author of The Cutting Room "Find herein Gabriella catapulting coorie aw over Scotland's cultural cosmos and realms beyond. Out of a seedling of Scots sprouts fun, factual and gallus text that?s the right measures of many 'hings: historical enough, sartorial enough, culinary enough, landscape and natural enough, objects enough, festive enough, boozy enough, lush enough fur sure. With stunning imagery, a cap doffed to literary leaders and paragoning songsmiths, plus a playlist to boot, it's an enchanting and interactive read." - MICHAEL PEDERSEN, poet and curator of Neu! Reekie! "Gabriella Bennett's book on the cult of 'coorie' ? a hug of a word ? is a celebration of all that's best and beautiful about Scotland, from food to textiles, pubs to gardens. It made this Scottish émigré miss my homeland, its wildness and drama and warmth, with a physical pang. But I will never embrace the midge." - MARINA O'LOUGHLIN, journalist, author and restaurant critic
