Out of the Frying Pan, Gillian Clark
Not being a TV watcher, I had never heard of Gillian Clark. I picked up the book because I liked the cover, title and subject matter -- hot kitchens, single motherhood and the family meal. I so thoroughly enjoyed the book that I finished it in two days! The recipes look delicious -- seven of the recipes are on my must try list!
I happened to pick up this book on a day I needed some bucking up and it more than fills the bill. As much as I liked her story and recipes, I really liked Gillian's inner strength and can-do attitude. Bucking up arrived right on time!
