Gaun Yersel......

As we say in Glasgow - this book is a cookbook from one of Glasgow's oldest and best loved (if imaginary) families - The Broon's.
Someone got me this as a pressie and kindly "personalised" it by overwriting my name on it. A compliment...... I think..........

It made me think of all things Glaswegian and thought I would list a few for both those that know and those that don't........ Enjoy!!!
