Working in the kitchen, where one can combine pleasant aromas, textures, and flavours to create appealing dishes, gives a great feeling of accomplishment. Lynne’s lifelong interest and enthusiasm for cooking is evident here in the recipes that she has tried and tested in her own home. These favourite recipes offer ideas for all occasions and cover a wide range of food and drink. From cocktails to cream teas; cakes to casseroles; fish, meat and vegetables, as well as appetisers, ice creams, sorbets, and biscuits.


Whilst this book is predominantly about food and recipes, its difference is in the inclusion of brief ‘excursions’ into some of Lynne’s other interests. For a long time, she had it in mind to collate and share some pleasing and useful ideas, thoughts, photographs, and quotes. These ‘food for thought’ interludes are to inspire and encourage the reader in a positive way.


Whether you wish to find a simple supper recipe, an elegant dinner party offering, or simply to consider some thoughtful sayings or restful images - prepare to be inspired!
