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. Now, with a paycheck as useful as greaseproof paper and a house crumbling faster than biscuits in tea, she’s […]

I also didn’t know that a book about potential wine-crime might also pique my interest, but here we are: I cut […]

The Debt to Pleasure – John Lanchester (1996)

The Debt to Pleasure by John Lanchester

July 10, 2021 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

CBR13Bingo – Libations Here, watch this:   On the one hand I liked a lot about this book, and on the other hand it got to be a little bit of a drag at certain parts. Like all food blogs, this novel, which poses as a cookbook or recipe book has a bit of a “when do they get to the fireworks factory” issue. Our narrator, an eclectic and cryptic food writer, is slowly taking us through a culinary adventure using the seasons as his […]
