About this ebook

Step inside Rachel's Pudding Pantry, a place where love, laughter and scrumptious bakes bring everyone together.

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!

Ratings and reviews

Such a gorgeous read .. and with a cover to match! Rachel, a single mother, has the added responsibility of running the family farm and keeping it afloat. Things are hard in the agricultural world, and she needs to come up with new ideas to inject some much needed cash flow into the business. Then an idea occurs to her - can they possibly cash in on her mother's baking skills? Would it be enough to generate a much needed extra income? And why do all her friends gush over the attractions of Tom, a neighbouring farmer who Rachel sees as no more than a friend? This is a really lovely read. Encompassing all the difficulties of life in the farming community, the story is well conceived and skilfully crafted. The writing flows smoothly, and the entire book is a delight to read. All the sweet treats on offer sound mouth-wateringly good, and the recipes at the end are an added bonus. Caroline Roberts has created a wonderful, feel good novel. Even better, there is a sequel in the offing towards the end of this year, and I'm already looking forward to catching up with both the inhabitants of Primrose Farm and the wider circle of the area's community. This is a good, solid and entertaining read to which I'm happy to give a full five stars.

Loved this book very hard to put it down
