Maw Broon's Cookbook: The Broon's Cookbook - for Every Day and Special Days - Maw Broon ... 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 needs no introduction; she is the matriarch of the famous Broon family who generations of Scots have grown up loving. Feeding her family consisting of Paw, Hen, Joe, Maggie, Daphne, Horace, The Twins and The Bairn with Grandpaw popping round frequently must have been a mammoth task but like all good housewives of her time she managed to keep them all well fed on a modest budget. Maw makes an unlikely celebrity chef but does an admirable job of sharing the secrets of her success in Maw Broon's Cookbook-For Everyday and Special Days. On Maws wedding day she was given a cookbook stuffed full of family favourites by her mother in law Jeannie with the ...

I have been wanting this cookbook for a while, I love the Broon's and I like to read them every week in the Sunday post, so I was very pleased to receive this for my Christmas! I think the book has a great look about it, it looks like an old and well loved (and used) family cookbook, the look is carried on throughout the book where the recipes look like they have been cut out of magazines or handwritten by other people. It also is covered in 'stains' and drawings by the 'bairns' which add to its well loved family feel.
