Review - Recipes for Disaster by Sheryl Browne

Completely hilarious and SO entertaining!

Lisa is single and meets the perfect man; Adam, who is a widower and a policeman.  She wanted to impress him so much that she got her friend Becky to guide her through cooking a meal for him and his mother.  His mother is not the easiest person in the world to get on with, constantly wrapping Adam up in cotton wool and constantly commenting about his wife and how wonderful she was at everything. 

Because Lisa also wants to impress her, she agrees to cater for an event at the golf club, then remembers that she can't actually cook!   Even though Adam lives on his own, he can't cook either, but also ropes in Becky so that he can impress Lisa and so between them they cater for the event.  They both skirt around talk of relationships, neither really knowing what the other was thinking and meaning, yet are both clearly madly in love with each other.   Clearly to everyone else that is except themselves!

One catastrophe after another are the norm in Lisa's life, much to the concern of Adam's mother.  Lisa's dog Rambo and Adam's parrot both play a huge and hilarious part in the book and are wonderful additions to the story.   Becky (the real chef) is bright and sparky, and her relationship with her very recent ex and her gorgeous new man also fit in really well in this plot. 

Tons of laugh-out-loud, spit-your-coffee out moments occur throughout this book.  I was lucky enough to meet this author recently and she is so full of life with a cracking sense of humour.  This absolutely shines through in her writing making this a really fun and entertaining read.   I am really looking forward to reading more of her writing in the future. 

The recipes for the food they are cooking are also detailed in the book, along with pictures too.  Describing it sounds a bit strange, but they work really well together and make this wonderful book the pleasure that it is.

A wonderful reading experience which I thoroughly enjoyed!
