What a joy to see your new book! I can see it will inspire so many
people to make someone else happy through food. It is so heartfelt
and lush with seasonal ingredients and comforting recipes, the
cookbook equivalent of a friend's open arms - Emiko Davies, author

The gift of food is one of the most thoughtful and heart warming
presents you can give. In this world where 'busy' is such a
buzzword, giving someone your time and energy, making that simple
care package, is the best love you can show. What a fabulous idea
for a book! With such easy Recipes to make, Sophie inspires us once
again to show those around us how much we love them - Luisa
Brimble, author of Wild Adventure Cookbook with @missarahglover
