Taste Ye Back

This is a gem of a book. Sue Lawrence has interviewed 70 prominent Scots and unlocked their beloved memories of food and what it was like for them growing up. She talks to them about their families their home and their relationship with food. Most of the childhoods of the twentieth century are represented here and include celebrities as diverse as Ewan McGregor Gordon Brown Hardeep Singh Koli AL Kennedy Andy Murray Sharleen Spiteri and Gordon Ramsay. They reminisce about their mum's cullen skink their dad's roast and their granny's shortbread which Sue tests out and brings right up to date as only Sue can. With a mellow nostalgic tone running through the interviews and recipes you can't help but be inspired to make it how it used to be made.>
