What an absolute delight for bibliophiles this book is! So many people love cookbooks (whether to use to their purpose or just to peruse) and for a book-lover this is magical!

Comprising over 100 recipes inspired from the author’s own bookshelves, one can cater for everything from morning tea to supper and everything in between with a literary flair.

What do you fancy? Perhaps Paddington’s marmalade (yum!) or chocalatl a la Northern Lights, a sweet posset as in Joan Aitken’s Wolves of Willoughby Chase or something more substantial like the Godfather’s spaghetti and meatballs – it’s all here in glorious detail.

Most of my review books are donated either to my own library or to worthy recipients but this one is going straight to that bookshelf of culinary holiday expectations in my pantry.  In the meantime some green (pesto) eggs and ham may well feature on an upcoming weekend breakfast menu.

This would be a handsome addition to your library shelves but probably an even better one to your own personal collection.
