Description
Born in 1935, in the city of Bath, Mary's childhood was a curious mix of idyllic picnics and ramblings, and alarming air raids. Nearly cut short by an almost fatal bout of polio when she was thirteen, which isolated Mary in hospital for months. Recovery saw her turn to her one true passion - cookery. And so began a love affair that has spanned six decades. In this touching, evocative and fascinating memoir, we accompany Mary on her journey. It is the life of a delightfully traditional but thoroughly modern woman.
