We’ve all been there. The blind date from hell. The Big Hurt. The guy who details his various surgeries over Caesar salad on the first date. Who needs a pint of rocky road when you can head to the kitchen and work out your heartache with a whisk and a bottle of wine? Erin Bolger has been there, dated that and baked through it all. Turns out the more bitter the heartbreak, the sweeter the batter.

My thoughts:
I LOVE recipes and when I can read the recipe book like a story (like I did in one sitting today), I am in heaven. I was laughing at the funny (terrible) dating experiences and licking my lips over the beautiful photos. The recipes are easy to follow and both a newbie and the experienced cook will find fun in the pages. I can see that a few of these recipes will become favourites.
