Among all the hustle, bustle and turmoil in life this book will transport us to a serene atmosphere.

The author Marte Marie Forberg, was born and raised on an island off the coast of Norway. After her education she traveled the world as a photographer. On one such travels she fell in love with the English countryside. She now resides in her cottage in the English countryside two hours from London with her English pointer Mr.Whiskey. Her resourceful mom has nurtured her love for cooking and gardening. She runs a popular blog in the name the cottage kitchen.   The book has been divided into four seasons and afternoon tea and recipes to try out in each season. I am sure I am going to try out all the breads and the clotted cream. This book is a keeper. You will never regret it. The book can be purchased from Amazon . Ne
