Rice Pudding in a Duvet: a journey home, with snacks

I FOUND IT UN-PUT-DOWNABLE; WARM, WITTY, AND BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN! Molly Parkin - artist, novelist and bon viveur. Young Alice looked over her English garden fence, liked what she saw and kept going. Thirty years later, from the relative safety of her kitchen table in Denmark, Alice takes us on a charming romp back through those well-lived and loved years. All inspired by her favourite recipes - and a pinch of sea salt. Like beloved old songs played on the radio, she returns with us in her imagination to certain times, experiences, countries and characters to pick up what she left behind. We dip into random episodes, as if it was one big box of chocolates. Generally you'll find sweet and tasty fillings, but now and then find a bitter centre that leaves you eager for a nutty taste again. By the end of the book you'll have been nourished, inspired and entertained by our irrepressible heroine.
