Sue Laurence is one of my favourite cookery writers. Her recipes are easy to follow but more importantly they work. Taste Ye Back is a collection of recipes chosen by prominent Scots but given an additional stir of excitement when tested for the book, by Sue.
I was lucky enough to watch Sue demonstrate a couple of the recipes from the book at a food festival; minimal fuss (even when stirring with an over sized spoon) easy to prepare and extremely tasty; the queues were long.
The added biographical value of Taste Ye Back is a page devoted to the childhood food memories of each Scot who has contributed a recipe. Quid-nunc - Sue also discloses the year of each important Scot's birth. However, the recipes aren't catalogued by year of birth but far more conveniently:
* Soups and Starters
* Veg, Cheese and Breakfast
* Fish
* Meat
* Puddings
* Bakes
Sue is an inspiration and this time she has been generous with her royalties too Headline has donated £1000 of the advance and will donate 1% of the total royally income to Children's Hospice Association Scotland.
