Jings, crivens! Nae wonder this is oot o stock! It's a brilliant cartoon pseudo-notebook of Burnsiana, replete with cracked yellow taped splattered handwritten recipes, notes, poems, etc., from the endearing legendary Broon family. It's unabashedly Scots, and a real gem. I'm seeking a copy to send to my sister. I wouldn't risk letting my own treasured copy out of my sight. Lang may yer lum reek, great chieftain o the puddin race!

Born and raised in Scotland I loved reading the Broon's in my parents Sunday paper and was thrilled to find this amazing book which brought back so many fun memories reading this as a child especially being away from home for so many years after emigrating to the US and missing Scotland. The recipes are great and comments throughout hysterical. They did a great job putting this fun book together.

I purchased this book for the reputation that has been built around "The Broons". It is an easy read with many anecdotes and recipes for celebration of "Burn's Night" which honors not only the Bard, Robert Burns, but the famous Scottish Haggis. Long a favorite of Scots, this book brings to mind many of the sayings, humor, and everyday life of the homeland for those Scots who have emigrated away, but wish to keep their roots intact. Whether it is used as a 'Cook Book' or a 'Coffee Table Book' it is a 'must' for a Scot's Library!
