I wish I was better at baking

Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall

August 15, 2021 by Malin 1 Comment

CBR13 Bingo: Libations (the whole setting of the book is a televised baking show, so there are a lot of both sweet and savoury baked treats in the story and featured on the cover) Official book description: Following the recipe is the key to a successful bake. Rosaline Palmer has always lived by those rules—well, except for when she dropped out of college to raise her daughter, Amelie.

The Debt to Pleasure – John Lanchester (1996)

The Debt to Pleasure by John Lanchester

Our narrator, an eclectic and cryptic food writer, is slowly taking us through a culinary adventure using the seasons as his […]
