Fun, varied and traditional.. Youngsters will love the colourful, light-hearted look of the new book. --The Sunday Post
Product Description
"Maw Broon's Cooking with Bairns" is aimed at helping children master basic cookery techniques while learning to cook. The 46 recipes are clearly presented in simple steps each of which is illustrated. Any basic techniques used in the recipes are shown separately in a special section with their own illustrations. Most recipes are laid out on two facing pages for clarity and each recipe has a 'You will need' box and a 'Before you start' box. The recipes used by Maw Broon and the Bairns are planned and written by Catherine Brown - experienced food writer, cook, broadcaster, lecturer and grandmother. She believes it is important to teach children the basic techniques of cookery and to build on these skills. The recipes are organised in six sections following on from a first section entitled 'Basic Techniques' that is dedicated to the basic skills the children will acquire as they work through her recipes. For example, the 'Plate of Broth - Meal in a Plate' section will start with a recipe for Lentil and Bacon Broth and the basic skills of how to peel a carrot, how to slice an onion, and how to chop bacon required for this recipe can all be found with step-by-step illustrated instructions in the first section. It includes: Piece and Jam - and other snacks; Plate of Broth - soups and broths; Dinners - meat, fish, veggies, salad main courses and puddings; High Teas - main course with baking; Baking Session - oven and girdle baking; and a bit of fun - sweeties, drinks, sundaes and baking without heat. It title features: 46 recipes with step-by-step illustrated instructions; recipes and techniques that are clearly explained; notes on ingredients/extra material in a special feature called 'CB's Tips'; recipes prepared by an experienced and leading food writer; and a strong emphasis on 'Don't give up if you fail first time. All the best cooks and chefs fail and it's fun to eat the results! It includes extra material dedicated to The Broons - Scotland's best-loved family who have appeared in "The Sunday Post" since 1936.

Format:Hardcover
I'd never before tried a haggis burger but this cookbook shows you in clear and easy steps how to make a haggis burger, how to make a clootie dumpling, how to make mussels, how to make a lot of snacks and main meals that I have previously thought were a bit of bother. But then I am someone who tends to eat out of a plastic dish, once I've removed the clear cellophane lid... Although I probably won't be the person this book is aimed at, in that I don't regularly cook with kids (they're grown up now) I found this really useful for me. And I loved the jokes, funny bits and history on Scottish food. As Oliver said, can we have some more? I haven't tried out more than a couple of recipes but it got me back into the kitchen and making stuff - which is quite something!

This book was purchased to keep the set complete, BUT it reminded me of some of the good times you can have in the kitchen letting the Bairns work things out and see the results, it also introduced me to some dishes I didn't know. GREAT FUN!

This is a great product and draws me back to my childhood days in Scotland. We are looking forward to educating our born in England grand-children in the art of real and traditional food.
