Has anyone seen this lovely book by Sue Lawrence (from STVs The Hour?)
In it, she talks to lots of famous Scots about the food they enjoyed as children growing up in Scotland - everyone from Elaine C.Smith, Andrew Marr, Ally McCoist, Billy McNeill, Lorraine Kelly, Kirsty Wark, Gordon Ramsay, Barbara Dickson, Ewan McGregor...etc
The recipes include Cullen Skink, Cloutie Dumpling, Tattie Scones, Coffee Buns, Mince & Tatties (of course!)
