Synopsis

Take a trip to the Yorkshire village of Burley Bridge, where a very special little cookbook shop is about to open its doors… In the beginning… Kitty Cartwright has always solved her problems in the kitchen. Her cookbooks are her life, and there isn’t an issue that ‘Cooking with Aspic’ can’t fix. Her only wish is that she had a book entitled ‘Rustling Up Dinner When Your Husband Has Left You’. Forty years later… On Rosemary Lane, Della Cartwright plans to open a very special little bookshop. Not knowing what to do with the hundreds of cookbooks her mother left her, she now wants to share their recipes with the world – and no amount of aspic will stand in her way. But with her family convinced it’s a hare-brained scheme, Della starts to wonder if she’s made a terrible decision. One thing’s for sure: she’s about to find out… Lose yourself in Della’s world of food, family and friends. The perfect read for fans of Trisha Ashley and Carole Matthews.

I've read a couple of books recently where the characters are around my age (50's) and find that you can really empathise with them and it ma......more

The story of Della who inherits 900 cookbooks and opens a cookbook shop. Quite a good story, a bit predictable in places but Della was annoying and a complete wet lettuce when it came to letting people walk over her, I just wanted to shake her!......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on July 12, 2016

I've got mixed feeling about this book, I think due to the sheer quantity of "shop" books that have been released in instant years, I was expecting a certain feel to the story, or at least that I would get to know a shop very well. I was aware this was to be a cookbook shop and I was intrigued by th......more
