Maw Broon s Cookbook: The Broon s Cookbook - for Every Day and Special Days
£5.54
I need this book! - RedOktober s question needs a prompt answer. Swedes are called turnips in Scotland. (I didn t really come across turnip turnips till coming to live in England.)
Something above the ordinary - This is wonderful cook book with hearty, practical recipes that are also easy to make. I am completely addicted to cook books and have several dozen but this is the first cook book I ve managed to find with such down to earth recipes.My only criticism is that I have no idea what Maw Broon actually means by turnips - does she mean turnips or does she mean swedes which I believe may be called turnips north of the border? If anybody could enlighten me...
Mrs Broon - Can I Come Round For My Tea? - The scrapbooker in me loves this book for the pure visual experience I got as soon as I opened my Amazon parcel.Certainly not your average cookbook - it really is set out like Maw Broons very own recipe book from magazine clippings, scribbles & doodles from the kids, tea stains and squished spiders between the pages! This by no means detracts from the very real recipes - good proper recipes that the family will eat not the fancy shmancy stuff that looks pretty but wouldn t fill a gnats belly.I actually bought this for my sister for Christmas - purely for the nostalgia value as she collected the Broons and Oor Wullie books as a kid. I ve now told her she isn t getting it unless she buys me one in return! :DA beautiful, beautiful book in it s own right and some drool inducing recipes to boot.
Nostalgia on a plate - Having been a recipient of The Broons and Oor Wullie annuals every Christmas for the past 50+ years, I was enchanted by this book.It combines sensible, every day recipes with a window into the family life.More importantly, it settles a long-running Scottish argument - as can be seen from the address on a postcard, the Broons very definitely reside in Dundee!
Everyone should have this book! - What a wonderful cookbook. Great recipes, wonderfully chosen,charmingly illustrated.Great comfort stuff, takes you back to childhood. I ve sent many copies to all my expat Scottish friends and family. My own copy keeps on being borrowed so I m buying myself another one for Christmas!Dinnae miss it!
