The Good Plain Cook - Bethan Roberts
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

This was a book which I just wanted to read after looking at the first page. It's unusual and tells of the life of a young girl who goes to be a cook at the house of a rich woman and her child, and examines the differences in their lives. It's a very easy book to pick up and put down again, but is also a compelling read, and has lovely illustrations at the beginning of each chapter.
