Maw Broon's Cookbook: The Broon's Cookbook - for Every Day and Special Days Book

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".
