Books
[edit]Her 2022 book is described as her 2nd cookery book but I can find no evidence anywhere of an earlier book.
I struggled to find confirmation of this 2022 book, as it is not in the British Library catalogue and an ISBN search doesn't find it in Google Books, but I found it on Amazon, reassuringly, as evidence that it does exist. Did the author send copies to the BL and the other copyright libraries, I wonder?
It looks a pretty amazing book! Were there any published reviews of it? PamD 14:45, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
