Synopsis :

Launched in 1936 in the "Sunday Post" in Scotland, The Broons are undoubtedly Scotland's first family - the Nation's favourites - with a readership covering all generations. The Broons 'annual' sells over 100,000 copies. This is a facsimile of Maw Broon's very own cookbook, which we borrowed from the sideboard at No. 10 Glebe Street - first made for her by her mother-in-law when 'Maw' married 'Paw', and added-to over the years with recipes for every day and special days, from friends and neighbours and others that simply caught Maw's eye in "The Sunday Post", or cut-out of the backof a flour bag. These are the very recipes that became the favourite dishes of the whole extended family - Maw and Paw, Granpaw, Daphne, Horace, Joe, Maggie, Hen, the Twins and 'the bairn'.The strip itself is still hugely popular, with the "Sunday Post" having a circulation of over 1,000,000 copies every week, and there are some examples of the strip from years gone by that Maw must have clipped into her Cookbook- perhaps as reminders of special days. We've just left the 'bits and pieces' that you find tucked into a cookbook, exactly as we found them - stains and all."Maw Broon's Cookbook" is published at a time when nostalgia items are extremely popular, and although obviously firm favourites in Scotland, there will be interest nationwide, with support and endorsement from celebrity names - Gordon Ramsay, Lorraine Kelly, Ewan McGregor to name a few. The BBC's Robbie Shepherd and Tom Morton will lend a hand too! There will be promotion in DC Thomson's portfolio of newspapers and magazines - including "The Sunday Post", "The Courier", "The Scots Magazine", and "The People's Friend".

Présentation de l'éditeur: The legendary cookbook from Maw Broon. A facsimile of Maw's very own cookbook, borrowed from the scullery drawer at No 10 Glebe Street started by her mother-in-law when Maw married Paw, and added-to over the years with recipes for every day and special days, from friends and neighbours and others that simply caught Maw's eye in The Sunday Post, or were torn from the back of a flour bag.

A firm favourite in Scotland over 250,000 copies sold since October 2007.

Full of the nation's favourites, a beautiful and nostalgic book.

Looks like your grandma's original cookbook with recipes stuck in, stains and all.

Full of jokes and funny comments from The Twins and Broons family

Traditional family cookbook, with over 500 British and Scottish recipes dating from the 1870s to the present day.

Measurements in metric and imperial

On publication, the book shot into the headlines after it was condemned by a leading Scottish nutritionist as an example of the worst of a Scottish diet: a caricature of absolutely the worst things you could possibly put in your mouth . Professor Mike Lean (head of Glasgow University s Human Nutrition department) then recommended the book be sold with a discount off a headstone. The media jumped on the story headlines from the BBC, STV, The Sunday Times, Daily Mail, and The Guardian caught the attention of Sky News, and CNN in the USA, who loved the poor Scottish diet angle. The publicity helped the book become a bestseller.

Over 500 recipes with things torn out of magazines and clipped in, and stuck down.
