A cookbook collection of delicious recipes from the Lady Rample Mysteries! From gingerbread wars to Aviation cocktails to lost historical recipes, one of my favorite parts of writing the Lady Rample Mysteries set in the 1930s is that I’m simply forced into researching all the lovely cocktails, mocktails, cakes, and other goodies that appear throughout the series. (Lady Rample’s love of such things may or may not be somewhat autobiographical.) I thought it would be fun to create a recipe book with some of the goodies found in the Lady Rample Mysteries series so that you can try out all the yummy drinks and snacks that have you drooling! Join Lady Rample, Chaz, Aunt Butty, and the rest of the gang for afternoon tea. I can’t wait to hear about your Lady Rample-esque adventures in cake! For fans of the Lady Rample Mysteries who may or may not also be avid watchers of the Great British Baking Show and collectors of cookery books.
