This recipe collection is written as an ode to traditional Cornish village life, and in particular to the Fish Store, a former fish-processing factory that had become the family home / holiday home of Lindsey Bareham and her family.
The Fish Store had an interesting history - not least because Lindsey Bareham's father-in-law, who was the previous owner, was the bohemian painter Augustus John. This aspect of the book was what captivated me the most, and I wish there was more of it, more anecdotes about lazy childhood days and holiday family gatherings.
The brief history of the house was followed by an extensive collection of recipes - things that were good to cook and eat in that part of Cornwall. The section on fish and seafood was probably the most interesting (it was, afterall, a fishing village), and seemed the most local / topical. The rest were more generic, although they did relate to produce readily grown in allotments in that south-west part of Cornwall.
