Glad to hear that you enjoyed The Law and the Lady. I've been so looking forward to more Wilkie Collins!<br /><br />Captive Reader, You made me laugh with your liberal use of exclamation marks!!! I'll be looking forward to your review of this wonderful book once you get around to it.<br /><br />Mrs B, Didn't that chocolate cake sound so decadent?! I really must give that one a try...once I get past the guilt of eating so much of the lemon cake!<br /><br />Kristina, Oh, looking forward to your post on that one day!<br /><br />verity, Do have a peek for it at the shops or your library, I'm sure that you would really enjoy it. It may be very hard for you to read the food stories though. Have the yummiest thing on hand that you're allowed while you're reading this one!<br /><br />booksnob, LOL! Surely there must be a wonderful literary-minded gem of a man out there reading your blog! OR You need to start writing about food!<br /><br />skirmishofwit, Thank you! I had no idea that I would love this book so much, I love when that happens.<br /><br />JoAnn, Oh! I'm thrilled that you've been so inspired! <br /><br />makedoandread, Your willpower is admirable! I'm secretly hoping that my daughter steals my copy and becomes a lover of vegetables.<br /><br />Nan, That's so nice of you to say! Have a peek at it if you see it in the shops, the recipes are fabulous.Darlenehttp://www.rosesoveracottagedoor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-21898312952188307342010-03-16T11:12:35.046-04:002010-03-16T11:12:35.046-04:00What a wonderful review.

I was going to click right over to my library website after your second paragraph but, by the time I reached the end, I decided this is a book I need to own!

I had tons of post-it notes on it for the recipes and it was lying around my house all year. Great stuff!

Honestly, I didn't know that much about it, just that I'd been hearing that everyone adored it. Now, having read your review and having learned more, I'm even more eager to get my hands on a copy!

I take it this is more than a regular cookbook? It sounds like something I will have to see if my library has (probably not) or maybe watch for the paperback (maybe!). Off topic--I see you are ready to start The Law and the Lady--I read it a couple of years ago and loved it. It's not quite as good as his "biggies" but I enjoyed it immensely nonetheless. I think you might like Valeria--I did anyway!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.com
