Celebrities as diverse as Ewan McGregor, Gordon Brown, writer A. L. Kennedy, tennis player Andy Murray, Sharleen Spiteri of the band Texas, and Gordon Ramsay take a nostalgic look at the recipes of their childhoods. Sue Lawrence talks to them about their families, their home, and their relationship with food. They reminisce about their mom'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 though the interviews and recipes, readers can't help but be inspired to make it how it used to be made. This insight into traditional Scottish food includes recipes for politician Menzies Campbell's smoked haddock pie, chef Nick Nairn's meatloaf, rugby player Gavin Hastings' kedgeree, and journalist Andrew Marr's gingerbread.
