I have had the book for a while now and I must admit that it took me a good few chapters to get interested in the storyline. But, once I was hooked, I could not put it down and read the rest of the book quickly!

I’ve always wanted to take a sketch book and some pencils, sit on a bench overlooking a gorgeous landscape and draw away for hours. I’ve got the sketch book and pencils but I haven’t made it out of the door with them yet!

I recently joined the Blogging for Books site… you should totally check it out! Free books in exchange for a review! I didn’t go for a fiction book to start with as some of the non-fiction books appealed to me more. There were a couple of craft books but this cook book really stood out to me.
