As you know I have quite a few books on my TBR shelf at the moment and am slowly getting through them.  I love fiction books but also like non-fiction too depending upon what it is.  One book I was given for my Birthday was this one:

If you are one of my regular readers you know I love Christmas and in particular Christmas food and I got this book for my Birthday.  So far I have not made anything from it but it looks promising.  I have a lot of Good Housekeeping Books, incluidng my Grandmother’s from before the war.  and I use the recipes a lot so I can’t wait to get stuck in to this one.  I found this book in Waterstones.  An historial novel about Georgina Landemare who started her working life as a Nursemaid but ended up cooking for Winston Churchill in Wartime London and his Country Home.  Not only does it tell of her life but also contains her recipes from the different eras.

This also caught my eye when I was in the bookshop one day; a book about slowing down!  It wants you to embrace countryside comfort even in this frantic World we live in.  There are recipes to try, embroidery, sewing and quilt patterns along with tips for your home and garden.  I find with these books that I pick them up when I have the odd five minutes here and there and read a chapter or two when I get chance. 

Over the next few weeks I will be planning my Christmas food and will be looking through my new Book to see if there are some new recipes to try.  I will let you know how I get on with the other two books when I have read them.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and make some time to read. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
