Thank you @RandomTTours and @CarolineScott for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The front int cover is great makes me what to buy a cake while i am reasing good taste. The story about Stella whi is worried about her father but is also writing of cooking books. The story is about challenges that come across Stella away and about changing them to. The story is set in the 1930s in England during the great depression . The story is contemporary fiction and is written really well.

When Stella Douglas, author of a much-loved but not very successful biography of a forgotten cookery writer, is summoned to see her editor in London, she is dreading being told her writing career is over before it's even started. But much to her surprise, she finds she is being commissioned to write another book - this time a history of food in England and how the English like to eat. It's to be quintessentially English and will remind English housewives of the old ways, and English men the glory of their country. The only problem is - all English food is really from elsewhere.
So Stella sets about inviting recipes from all corners of England, in the hope of discovering a hidden culinary gem. But what she discovers is oatcakes and gravy and lots of lots of potatoes.
Longing for something more thrilling, she heads off to speak to the
nation's housewives. But when her car breaks down and the dashing and charismatic Freddie springs to her rescue, she is led in a very different direction...
