Cooking with nuts and exploring their nutritional benefits, demystifying vegan food and the first part of a virtual tour of Scotland's five whisky regions.

Cook and food writer Sue Lawrence demonstrates how to make a simple orange and pistachio cake.

Walnuts, almonds, cashew nuts, peanuts, Brazil nuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, chestnuts, pistachio nuts - the list is endless! Chef John Quigley shares his ideas for how to make the most of nuts in your cooking - for both sweet and savoury dishes - and nutritional therapist Kerry Torrens advises on the nutritional properties and health benefits of various different nuts.

Nuts are an important part of a vegan diet but what else do vegans eat? Clare English and the team find out more about vegan food and ask whether it's time to ditch the stereotypical image of vegans and open our eyes to the variety of vegan dishes on offer? Vegan Lisa Sullivan talks about the kind of food she cooks and suggests recipes to try if you want to have a go at a vegan meal. Kerry Torrens talks about the health benefits of a vegan diet and advises on what the important nutrients are in a vegan diet and where to get them from.

In the first part of our virtual tour of Scotland's different whisky regions, whisky expert Annabel Meikle describes the history, characters and flavours of lowland whiskies.
