Advantages: Some great scottish meals Disadvantages: Can be read
If you love the Broons, you will want to add this to your collection (thats if you can read it)
Was bursting with excitment when I heard about this book. Traditional scottish food explained in a fun book, what more could you ask for. When this book arrived I ripped open the packet, slowly opened the book only to be welcomed by sheer disappointment and disbleif.
The index page was bursting with all the promised food. However and a big however was the instructions were very difficult to read, no matter how hard I tried it was near impossible to understand any of it.
I had bought this book as a present for my wife as she enjoys cooking. But have been let down in big style by the design.
The book`s idea is great...........
I would say to potential buyers to have a good look at this book before you spend your hard earned cash to ...
Advantages: Charming, good range of recipes Disadvantages: Can be a little hard to read sometimes
Maw Broon needs no introduction; she is the matriarch of the famous Broonfamily who generations of Scots have grown up loving. Feeding her family consisting of Paw, Hen, Joe, Maggie, Daphne, Horace, The Twins and The Bairn with Grandpaw popping round frequently must have been a mammoth task but like all good housewives of her time she managed to keep them all well fed on a modest budget. Maw makes an unlikely celebrity chef but does an admirable job of sharing the secrets of her success in Maw Broon's Cookbook-For Everyday and Special Days.
On Maws wedding day she was given a cookbook stuffed full of family favourites by her mother in law Jeannie with the inscription "A gift to my dear daughter in law, Maggie, on her wedding day. P.S. Enjoy yer big day lassie!" Jeannie has written her recipes down with love, she wants her boy to be ...
Advantages: Great read, not just a cookbook! Disadvantages: Some of the handwriting is a little difficult
I have been wanting this cookbook for a while, I love the Broon's and I like to read them every week in the Sunday post, so I was very pleased to receive this for my Christmas!
I think the book has a great look about it, it looks like an old and well loved (and used) family cookbook, the look is carried on throughout the book where the recipes look like they have been cut out of magazines or handwritten by other people. It also is covered in 'stains' and drawings by the 'bairns' which add to its well loved family feel.
The inscription at the start of the book reads
"Maw Broon's Cookbook, A gift to my dear daughter-in-law on her wedding day, Jeannie Broon, P.S. Enjoy your big day lassie!'
Further on there is further inscription describing how the recipes have been passed down through the family and from 'neebours'. These make ...

Manufacturer's product description
"The Broons Days Oot" - is a guide to days out in Scotland, with extensive coverage of Historic Scotland and National Trust for Scotland sites. There are ideas to go to Galleries and Museums, visit Castles and Gardens, join in a Ghost Walk, enjoy a day at the Highland Games and many more activities that the whole family can do together, just like The Broons! The Broons family love to go on 'days oot!' - family outings, usually accompanied by a feast in an expedition-sized hamper, tartan travel rugs and the odd spare pair of socks! There are cameos from all of the Broons - their favorite trips and places to go. Edinburgh Castle, Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, New Lanark World Heritage Site, and Culzean Castle are amongst the most visited places in Scotland. This book is packed with ideas to get folk out and about in Scotland - there's so much to see and enjoy. They take turns choosin' where. Sometimes they go in the car or on the bus, or take the bikes - there's so much to see that's not so far off from the But an' Ben. Sometimes it's a castle or the botanics, or a garden that's open somewhere - Granpaw has his favorites. Horace likes museums and galleries. They are all very keen on the Highland Games, so that's definitely one to look forward to, but Maw makes sure there is a bit of fun for everyone. The Broons all love a boat trip, or perhaps just a day at the beach is the very dab. And there are a few wee tips from Maw about what goes in the hamper! There's a folded wall map from Nicolson maps - a tourist map of Scotland. One thing's for sure - they are all happy days! About the AuthorDavid Donaldson is the scriptwriter of The Broons and Oor Wullie in The Sunday Post.
