Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman's place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show.

Island-of-Missing-Trees.jpg Sue has just finished reading The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak.

It is historical fiction based in Cypress and the UK, a story of disruption, prejudice, of what it means to be ‘home’, friendship, family relations and nature - one of the main characters is a fig tree. I loved this beautifully crafted, delightful, and heart-warming story.

Ice-Cream-Adventures.jpg Amanda is tucking into Ice Cream Adventures by Stef Ferrari

Summer = ice cream for me, along with the heat, afternoon storms, sea swims, and less clothes. Recipes in this book are lavish: lashings of cream and butter, caramel layers, lemon curds, berry, salted cocoa and banana sauces, all swirling with sugar. To get in the daily fix it includes how to make and eat ice cream with pasta and cheese, melted on French toast, in popcorn pudding, whipped into your breakfast eggs, and doused in your favourite tipple.  Eat up.  

Reserve some ice cream for me
