We all eat to live.

But some of us also live to eat.

Cupboard Love is the delicious story of one woman's life-long love affair with food - and feeding those you care for.

Laura Lockington's nostalgic foodie memoir is filled with memorable meals. From the first tang of home-made lemonade sipped on a perilous picnic with great aunts to the bread sauce perfected in the warmth of her mother's Cornish kitchen, Laura Lockington describes the tastes that accompanied her childhood.

As a grown woman, her culinary adventures from around the world included forbidden fruits in Florence, delicious Greek Aioli and some dangerous mussels. A husband (or two), and plenty of eccentric relatives journey in and out of the kitchen- alongside some scrummy Chocolate Rose Leaves, and powerful Thunder Tea,

Part memoir, part recipe book, Cupboard Love has all the ingredients for a rich and riotous life - and a treat for everyone who believe the food is the stuff of life.

`Perfect for the kitchen, or for the bedside table!' Aldo Zilli, celebrity chef and author.
