Most kids who love reading would have read some of Roald Dahl's books. My favourite was "The Witches" which was deliciously scary to me.
Fast forward a couple of generations, and his grandaughter Sophie is also making her way in the literary field. I enjoyed her first novel "Playing with the Grownups" very much indeed. Whimsical and fairytale-ish, it has everything I love in a holiday read. Now I know that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but the cover is just so lovely, I will confess it's why I bought it in the first place!

She has recently launched a new cookbook full of gorgeous food and stories to go with them : "Miss Dahl's Voluptous Delights" and it is truly spectacular. I really love that it's about the art of good eating, and in her anecdotes about the recipes her love of food, family and the seasons just shine through. She's a total girls' girl, and I love that there is a book out there enabling us to go and make our cakes and eat them too!
