I'm not a martini gal, but I love @BookishJulia 's posts about this, and I love this photo. It makes me want a martini.

Thrilled to share the cover of my next book, out 2/6/24 form @Hanover_Square! It's gorgeous look for a memoir that's full of love for books, libraries, authors and reading. Pre-order it now wherever you get your books (and/or tell your library to, as well!)

What are your recipe 'deal breakers', i.e. things that make you decide never to cook something? A friend told me she shuns any recipes (eg pastry) calling for iced water. Another friend avoids all recipes w/ the word 'reduce' in them. 'Start the day before' was also mentioned...

It's just a week to go until THE SECRET OF COOKING is published in the U.K. This was taken a few weeks ago, signing copies for @Waterstones with @rochdowdenlordy, whose own book LUSH will be published in 2025.

Signing copies of my book at ⁦@4thEstateBooks⁩ earlier today. Feeling very grateful to Julian Humphries for the design. For someone who loves box graters, it’s very satisfying to see them all lined up.
