Description
Oh, for the Love of Scones! is a narrative cookbook that uses food as a framework for storytelling. Each chapter pairs recipes with moments from a woman’s life, tracing the journey from romantic expectation to domestic reality, and the small, private rebellions that unfold in between.
Written with dry humour and affectionate irreverence, the book gently parodies the idea that happiness arrives fully formed with marriage, motherhood, or the perfect meal. Instead, it lingers in the everyday: the repetition of dinners, the quiet frustrations, the longing for independence, and the comfort found in familiar recipes made well.
The food is real and practical, drawing on classic dishes with modern touches, while the photography elevates the domestic into something intimate and considered. Alongside the recipes runs a backbone story that is witty, recognisable, and occasionally inappropriate.
Part cookbook, part parody, and part domestic diary, Oh, for the Love of Scones! is a book to cook from, read in bed, and give to someone who appreciates good food, sharp observation, and humour with a little bite.
