About the Book

Winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2007: Best Scottish Cookbook - Nominated for the Best Easy Recipes Book and Best Cookbook Design Awards

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.

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 back of 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'.

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.

We have sample pages from Maw Broon's Cookbook for you to download and print out - with Porridge, Stovies and Orange Marmalade, plus Hen Broon's heart-stopping breakfast recipe - only for special occasions!

Up Oor Close

This best-selling book dispels the image of slums and destitution which clings to the Glasgow tenement. Working-class home life is explored through the recollections of people who grew up in these cramped one and two roomed houses. Though the tenements were by today's standards unfit to live in, there are important lessons here about the kinds of housing that enable close-knit communities to flourish.

Voices in the Street

Born in Dundee in 1938, Maureen Reynolds grew up in wartime Scotland, a young girl surrounded by adult concerns and as she came of age, a whole generation seemed to suddenly do the same, with the rise of the Teddy Boy and rock'n'roll.

A Midge In Your Hand Is Worth Two Up Your Kilt

The Scottish language is rich in proverbs, sayings, maxims and wise aphorisms. This book thrusts these expressions into the 21st century, covering everything from bagpipes to whisky with a few mentions of our neighbours, the Sassenachs, thrown in.
