February 2024

Our book club pick for February 2024 is “Good Taste,” by Caroline Scott (via Amazon; affiliate link)

This book is set in Depression-era England, in 1932 between the wars. Stella Douglas is asked to help write a food history of England, to lift spirits.

“So, Stella sets about unearthing recipes from all corners of the country, in the hope of finding a hidden culinary gem. But what she discovers is rissoles, gravy, stewed prunes and lots of oatcakes.

Longing for something more thrilling, she heads off to speak to the nation’s housewives. But when her car breaks down and the dashing and charismatic Freddie springs to her rescue, she is led in a very different direction . . .”

February 1-7: Chapters 1-12
