About this audiobook
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.

However, she remains the world’s worst baker but tends to blame her failures on ‘the oven’.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a totally delightful, quirky read. It is the story of a 50-something Della whose only child goes off to college and her husband leaves her all in the same month. She is left with cleaning out her mother's cottage and making it suitable for resale. What to do with her mother's 972 cookbooks? She finds something of a "mystery" note in one of the cookbooks and that sets her off in a new direction that she never had dreamed of. She finally opens her cookbook bookstore in spite of the objections of most that it couldn't possibly succeed. This is a light read but one of the few times that I have laughed out loud when reading a book in a long time. I hear there is going to be a sequel that I will definitely read. 370 pages 5 stars

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The characters were realistic and the protagonist was likable enough. It's very British and the plot was predictable and heavily foreshadowed. Although nothing really stood out as being exceptional, it was an enjoyable read about a woman trying to grow and improve her life.
