I absolutely loved Scoff by the same author, so this was an essential purchase. Please excuse my avocado Oodie in the background - it's half-term here & we've been getting up late, hanging out in PJs and generally living our best lives!!!

Lately, our health has been a problem. When one of us gets well, the other one gets sick. But they say a bad beginning is a good ending.😄 Still, we take a moment for us to create, read, cook together... We both love chocolate, so we make our own hot chocolate.

pickMouth watering, fascinating, a chef‘s kiss of a memoir. I loved hearing about Ripert‘s growing up in his mother‘s kitchen, live of restaurants from a young age, and his early training in french kitchens. This one will make you hungry! Great on #audio
pick4 ⭐ This book is adorable. Growing families can be hard especially when growing families isn‘t new kids but new grandparents due to new relationships. In this book, our main character gets a new puppy. She already has a Grandma and a Noni and does not like the idea of someone coming in and taking their place. But with time and a little help, they learned that love is love, and family is family, no matter where it comes from. This book is adorable.
pick4 ⭐ This book had a nice cadence; it‘s a nice idea and a great story. The kids are trying to get the parents to eat more fruits and vegetables. This goes exactly as one would expect, but it‘s nice for the kids to be begging the parents to eat something new. The illustrations are fun and go with the book. This book is written by the author of Go the F*** to sleep and Camila Alvarez, who is the wife of Matthew McConaughey.

pickDid I mostly come to this book because I wanted to gaze at Wendy McNaughton's always delightful illustrations? Yes. Was I absolutely charmed by the straightforward information on tea history, variations, and culture? Oh, absolutely. A charming book that covers a wide range in quick time.
pickMy concerns about the newer version of this book were unfounded. The sections about the concerning cosy relationships between industry and scientists / regulators in the UK is at the end of the book alongside a new section on what happened after the hardback was published.
Recommended read - non-judgmental, compassionate and wide ranging.
Revisiting this in the eBook form. It now has an additional chapter detailing what happened with Big Food after the initial hardback publication which I'm looking forward to.
I don't have the original hardback now but I'm sure the earlier chapters have quite a lot of structural change. Notably a large early section which detailed the problematic closeness of food researchers to industry funding.
