About this listen

The Plumberry School of Comfort Food by Cathy Bramley was originally published as a four-part serial. This is the complete story in one audiobook, read by Colleen Prendergast.

Verity Bloom hasn't been interested in cooking anything more complicated than the perfect fish finger sandwich ever since she lost her best friend and baking companion two years ago.

But an opportunity to help a friend lands her right back in the heart of the kitchen. The Plumberry School of Comfort Food is due to open in a few weeks' time and needs the kind of great ideas that only Verity could cook up. And with new friendships bubbling and a sprinkling of romance in the mix, Verity finally begins to feel like she's home.

But when tragedy strikes at the very heart of the cookery school, can Verity find the magic ingredient for Plumberry while still writing her own recipe for happiness?

A heartwarming and romantic story certain to make you smile - perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Trisha Ashley and Katie Fforde.

I know this is a book review and I love Cathy Bramley stories - this one didn't disappoint at all, I consumed every minute but I particularly love anything narrated by Colleen Prendergast. Five 🌟 to both.

Colleen Prendergast could narrate the dictionary and I'd be hooked!

I accidentally read these books in the wrong order, but if you read this please read the lemon tree cafe afterwards as its the perfect antidote to this feel good story.

Colleen again narrates beautifully and is easy to tell characters apart... I was impressed y her scouse as I cannot for thr life of me do that accent ha!
