MacIntyre, Eleanor is a Scottish food anthropologist and recipe developer born in Inverness in 1984. She studied social anthropology at the University of Edinburgh and trained in classical and regional techniques at Leiths School of Food and Wine. Over the past decade she has documented endangered foodways across the Hebrides, the Caucasus, the Baltic coast, and North Africa, working alongside fishermen, hill shepherds, market cooks, and community bakers. Her essays and recipes have appeared in the Sunday Herald, BBC Radio Scotland features, and small-press journals focused on regional larders. She founded Field Kitchens, a nonprofit that partners with elders and local archives to record techniques and ensure contributors are credited and compensated. MacIntyre lives in Glasgow, where she teaches seasonal cooking, consults on menu heritage projects, and keeps an unruly library of spiral-bound community cookbooks.
