Ive been a massive fan of Millies food for a long time. I was hoping this book was coming, and it does not disappoint. It is packed with Millies accessible and straightforward recipes. The book has a wonderfully gentle feel, that you get easily lost in. I cant wait to start cooking from the book; all the recipes look and sound absolutely delicious.
