I love your cookbook reviews Karen, so thorough and informative. I shall have to seek this book out now as I am tempted by the content and not just my deep seated attraction to Monty Don.

Another lovely variation on shortbread is to add 1 tsp ground ginger and a couple of pieces from a jar of ginger in syrup, chopped into small dice. This is particuarly nice when you have a cold, or eaten after a long, autumnal woodland walk, with a cup of steaming tea, just as it is beginning to get dark,

I once had a delicious sponge flavoured with lavender at the Snowshill Lavender Farm, near Snowshill Manor (home to eccentric owner, Charles Paget Wade and now owned by the National Trust.) There was just a hint of lavender in both the sponge and the butter icing.
