The Seafood Shack
by Kirsty Scobie and
Fenella Renwick
The food culture of the Scottish Highlands won your hearts
and stomachs in this category celebrating books that serve
up more than mere recipes. We selected a shortlist of titles
that we’ve championed, reviewed and tested — books that
offer the perfect pairing of food and travel stories from
around the world. And it was Kirsty Scobie and Fenella
Renwick’s fishy foray into the Scottish Highlands that
had your mouths watering and feet itching. Sharing the
culinary success story of the pair’s small catering outpost
in Ullapool, The Seafood Shack helps readers discover the
bounty of the North Atlantic’s waters and the communities
of producers that line its shores.WINNERFINALISTS

Airbnb Experiences
The digital world became more valuable than ever
when the real world was off-limits. We asked you to pick
the online visitor experience that most lifted your travel
spirits during lockdowns, from close-up looks at
museum collections to wine tastings and personalised
city tours. And, from a shortlist of our favourites, you
selected Airbnb Experiences as your preferred way to
travel virtually. The accommodation booking service
has expanded into the world of experiential travel, both
online and in person, offering an array of unique
tours and classes led by local hosts around the globe.
Virtual activities such as meditating with a Japanese
Buddhist monk and cooking pasta with an Italian
grandma have kept your horizons broad and bright over
the past year.FROM FAR LEFT: A priest
