Cook-a-story: the Bleddfa Cook Book

From Lord Melvyn Bragg's special beans on toast and John Cleese's frightfully complicated cornflakes, to Anthony Horowitz's mother's scalding turkey soup, there is a recipe, revelation or ruination for all occasions here. Entertaining, but above all useful, Cook-a-Story: A Bleddfa Cook Book is the brainchild of theatre director and founder of the Bleddfa Centre in Wales, James Roose-Evans.
Personalities and celebrities from all over the UK have shared hilarious, practical and sometimes traumatic food-related anecdotes and recipes. With a preface by Gordon Ramsey and delightful illustrations by Quentin Blake, this is a must for every foody out there.
What great fun to read about the wonderful memories that all these celebrities had during their favourite meal-times, and what even more fun it will be to turn on my cooker and try out their recipes for myself. - David Suchet OBE
