Tea and Cake with Prue Leith

Prue Leith has been at the top of the British food scene for nearly 60 years, as founder of the renowned Leith’s School of Food and Wine, and also as a caterer, restaurateur, teacher, TV cook, food journalist, novelist, and  author.  More recently, of course,  she has graced our screens as a judge on the nation’s favourite TV programme, The Great British Bake Off.  In Prue she draws on a life-long passion for food with a hundred recipes from her own kitchen table – delicious, fuss-free dishes that she has cooked countless times for family and friends. Inside are quick-to-whip-up suppers and dinner party showstoppers that are as much a pleasure to cook as to eat. Expect firmly established favourites, lazy leftovers, meat-free meals, exciting new flavour combinations and fresh takes on classic dishes. There’s also a chapter of puds inspired by Prue’s time on Bake Off – every one guaranteed to be ‘worth the calories’.

This is Prue’s first cookery book in twenty-five years, and she has woven intimate and witty stories from her life to give an unparalleled view into the world of one of the nation’s best-loved cooks.  Come and celebrate a great career with afternoon tea and cake in St. Mary’s Church.
