her family’s love of food through amusing stories and recipes. Read about the day grannies teeth stuck together, vagrants taking tea on the lawn and Karen’s ongoing mission to find the best cream tea in Britain. Recipes have been provided by friends, supporters, family and celebrities but what makes this book unique is the family photographs and the writings, recipes and drawings of Karen’s daughter Rosie, who was fatally stabbed in 2001,
aged 16. This book is a credit to both Karen who wrote it and to Rosie the inspiration for it.
