What a lovely name for a cookery book featured in The Times yesterday. The recipes they showed were all gluten-free or could be made so by using gluten-free flour.
I may not buy the book, but I think I’ll try and find a copy and have a browse.
A year ago, I’d have just bought it on Amazon. But their tax antics and the offensive tee-shirts, they have sold recently, have put me off buying from them.

I hope you find the cookery book.
I couldn’t agree with you more about Amazon, initially because of their evasion of tax in the UK but now also because of the offensive T-shirts. I don’t think most people accept their excuse about the slogans being generated randomly by computer. Amazon must think we are mugs if they imagine we would swallow that line.
On the subject of tax evasion, I also avoid Starbucks and will continue to do so until they pay all taxes due in the UK. It is outrageous that they can “offer” to pay a token sum!

I haven’t looked yet!
There are two more important things than tax evasion, when it comes to choosing who you do business with. They are human rights and the death penalty. I won’t go to any country that routinely applies the death penalty, unless they are giving me a large payment. I also don’t buy anything or do business with any country that has a bad human rights record. So at the moment, I won’t deal with countries like China or the United States and a host of smaller ones, like the Maldives, Belarus or Uganda. It’s not a new thing, as I didn’t go to Greece when the Colonels were in power, Franco was in Spain or apartheid was in South Africa.
