What a cracking good story ! I am intrigued by the lives of women who produced cookery books … in addition to many other activities ( so much more interesting than chefs, I think!)

This was a delight to read. That subtitle! The reveal of who A was. And a life well lived. It really touched me.

Thanks so much for reading! I think I might do a little bonus track of some of her cocktails or temperance drinks for Valentine's Day. I was also very moved by her story and am not quite ready to drop it yet. Thoughts?

Oh hell yes, I'd be up for some Amy drinks and/or more posts about her story 👍

I had that same feeling while researching her. A good thing to try to bring into the new year. Thanks for reading!

I live in the White Mountains, just a bit south of Colebrook! What a great not-so-hidden piece of history from up here.

Thanks, Alicia. I had such a blast researching Amy and chatting with Sheila at the historical society. I wish I could have visited Polly's Place Tea Room. It looked so welcoming. <3
