A cookbook with a difference, this nostalgic collection of recipes dates back to 1940 and is entirely different, but just as good as, the first Maw Broon cookbook. Funny, inventive and full of humour and comic strips from "The Broons", with witty comments from the family members throughout, this second cookbook has more balance with both sweet, traditional, recipes as well as recipes with lighter, healthier ingredients.

Review
'Maw Broon is back but this time is stuffed with recipes, tips and some memorable family events from Scotland's first family, with a decidedly holiday feel to them. Many involve ingredients that have been foraged from field and hedgerow, loch and stream. There are plenty of simple recipes for those members of the family who lack her vast experience. Essential!' I-On Magazine Sept 08 'Healthy foods the Maw Broon way.' Maw Broon's back in the kitchen, and teaching the nation to cook - but this time healthy recipes are included. Her first cookbook horrified health experts with the fat and sugar content, but this book, while featuring some of the lard, is much more nutritious. Dishes use local produce and include sweet chestnut burgers, bramble jeely and turnip wine. Her new cookbook uses great Scottish produce - Nutritionist Carina Norris said: 'it's great to celebrate Maw Broon and all that's good about the Scottish diet. And, after all, at least Maw Broon cooks for her family, rather than going out for a takeaway every night.' BBC News 18/9/08 'The two cookbooks are artfully crafted to look like the sort of thing your granny kept. With the publication of the first book, suddenly clootie dumpling, Scotch broth, drop scones and suet pudding were back on everyone's menu. Unlike its predecessor, the But an' Ben Cookbook is a collection of recipes for healthy meals contributing to getting your five a day, with instructions on how to make low-fat versions of Scottish family favourites and in this book Maw Broon recommends using organic ingredients. It also lists gardening tips from Granpaw, as well as full-fat old-fashioned dishes like lamb hot-pot.' News.STV.tv 'Includes treats like Maw Broon's honey cake, chocolate muffins, Auld Alliance pudding, apple pie - complete with six tablespoons of lard, and a Poke an' a stalk. But there are occasional concessions to the diet-conscious too. This year the first book has sold more than Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course, Jamie Oliver's Cook with Jamie and Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food.' Daily Mail Cleverly-designed with seemingly hand-written notes, taped-in recipes and cooking stains.' The Herald 'But an' Ben - Listen to your maw! Maw Broon's latest cookbook is a slim line follow-up with lighter options. It's a healthier option - a recipe for success.' Metro London 'The last volume was one of the bestselling titles of last year and this new book is sure to please an audience of all ages. If you chuckled at some of the ingredients from times past in Maw's original cookbook, and then this new instalment is sure to please. Braw!' Paisley Daily Express --Paisley Daily Express

This review is from: Maw Broon's But An' Ben Cookbook (Hardcover)
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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Maw Broon's But An' Ben Cookbook (Hardcover)
A marvellous book, very evocative of my childhood, growing up in Scotland! we used , as kids, to read the comic strip "Oor Wullie,and the Broons, each week, and were given the Broons Annual at Christmas.
I love the way the book is laid out, ineresting layouts and illustrations by the incomparable Dudley Watkins. My only gripe that the name of the artist, who died in 1969. wa not mentioned.
