Primrose Farm is Rachel’s very own slice of heaven. Come rain or shine there’s always a pot of tea brewing by the Aga, the delicious aroma of freshly baked puddings, and a chorus of happy memories drifting through the kitchen.
But the farm is in a spot of trouble. As the daffodils spring, Rachel must plant the seeds of change if she wants to keep the farm afloat, and it’s all resting on a crazy plan. She’ll need one family cook book, her Mum Jill’s baking magic – and a reason to avoid her distractingly gorgeous neighbour, Tom . . .
Swapping their wellies for aprons, can Rachel and Jill bake their way into a brighter future? The proof will be in the pudding!

I clearly drawn to this book the second I saw its title, and author. Well I love the author, and when the main character shares my name, and I also love desserts, it seemed fated that I needed to read this book.
And boy and I glad that I did. However first a warning - don't read this on an empty stomach, make sure you have snacks to hand while you are reading, it will make you that hungry. There are puddings in practically every chapter, which if you are anything like me could make you drool.
From the first few chapters I was hooked, and given they were short chapters throughout, its a very easy book to fall prey to just one chapter syndrome, and find you are still reading half an hour later. I was resenting real life while reading this, as I just wanted to get back between the pages.
I loved all the generations of women in the Swinton family, from the lovely Granny Ruth, who Rachel visits occasionally, to Jill, Rachel's mum and pudding baker expert, Rachel whose ideas will be key to giving Primrose Farm a chance of surviving, and Rachel's daughter, the almost 5 year old Maisie.
I adored Maisie, she may be young, but she is adorable, smart, insightful and apparently is a good little waitress too. She is though starting to ask Rachel about her father, and let's just say in terms of fatherhood, Jake could be considered a "learner father".
Then there is Tom, the neighbour who is always there for Rachel and her family. I don't think I have a bad thing to say about the man, other than he isn't real and therefore can't be interested in me!
Set to a farming background, especially featuring sheep, this is the story of how you can try to turn around your fortunes after a tough few years. with plenty of pudding, good friendships, and a large helping of family.
This is such a cosy read, its a warm hearted story that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's another fabulous book from an author who by now is an auto - must read author.
Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Impulse for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
