Celebrating the launch of PREPPED!

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited along to my first ever book launch. I was probably a little over excited about it as I'd actually been involved in testing one of the recipes for the book...oh & it was hosted in the Knightsbridge branch of Rococo Chocolate, so how could a girl say no?

PREPPED! is written by the lovely Vanessa Kimbell & promises that with a little prep, you'll be able to knock together culinary masterpieces from your own kitchen at the drop of a hat. I'm all for that!

The recipe I tested for Vanessa was the delicious Orange & Cardamon Barfi (page 233 of the book!) It was great to finally see it in all it's printed glory, especially when I saw that Vanessa had incorporated some of my testing comments into the final method. Here's a link to my original post.

It really is a lovely book, packed with beautiful photography & recipes helpfully grouped by flavours & ingredients. Top of my list to try out are Vanilla Vodka & Spiced Tomato Jam....yum!

It's published by Spring Hill & is available now from Waterstones & Amazon To find out more about the author, pop over to Vanessa's blog.

Good luck Vanessa, it surely has been a labour of love & I wish you every success with it. Rebecca x
