Aunt Dimity's World

 
MAIN MENU BOOKS ABOUT THE AUTHOR FAQ

 

Those of you who've read the Aunt Dimity series know that each book contains a recipe. Some of you have even been so kind as to use the recipes and bring the resultant treats to my signings. You may not know that the idea of including recipes originated with my agent.

I was working on the fourth or fifth massive rewrite of Aunt Dimity's Death when my agent suggested that I include a recipe in the book. I thought it was a charming idea because I saw at once how a recipe might strengthen the story.
