Reseña del editor

I FOUND IT UN-PUT-DOWNABLE; WARM, WITTY, AND BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN! Molly Parkin - artist, novelist and bon viveur. Young Alice looked over her English garden fence, liked what she saw and kept going. Thirty years later, from the relative safety of her kitchen table in Denmark, Alice takes us on a charming romp back through those well-lived and loved years. All inspired by her favourite recipes - and a pinch of sea salt. Like beloved old songs played on the radio, she returns with us in her imagination to certain times, experiences, countries and characters to pick up what she left behind. We dip into random episodes, as if it was one big box of chocolates. Generally you'll find sweet and tasty fillings, but now and then find a bitter centre that leaves you eager for a nutty taste again. By the end of the book you'll have been nourished, inspired and entertained by our irrepressible heroine.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Biografía del autor

Heather Gartside writes about what she knows. That list is long and unusual, but probably accounts for her first novel, 'Rice Pudding in a Duvet', being classified under fiction, food, memoir and humour. Heather is an English author, currently living in Denmark with a danish husband, three children - with american accents, two mean Jack Russell dogs - with a taste for cats, and two hamsters - who stay up all night with her when she writes. In the past thirty years she's moved house and country more times than she's had hot dinners; and it's those international dinners that have now inspired her latest book, "Rice Pudding in a Duvet, the journey home with snacks." Throughout the time spent hopping around the world, she gained her spurs as a writer who looks intensly into cultural differences, history, the oddness of people, the goodness in people...and yummy food. It's recipes that inspire the titles of her chapters, but once you start reading, laughing and sobbing you realise that this book shouldn't really be in the cookery section at all. If it existed, then it should be in the "quirky" section. With her wings firmly clipped, and trying to look like she's settled in Denmark forever, Heather travels in her mind these days and entertains us with wit, warmth and worldliness. (Hopefully the book will be a smash hit and she'll travel the world with book signing tours in the near future instead!) She wears many different hats; former jet setter, world traveller, fashion designer, artist, cook, historian, art teacher, mum and writer. Now older, wiser and ready to spill the beans about the thrills, spills, despair and hilarity on the long journey home - with a pinch of sea salt!
