These guys have been a little while coming as I had much (!) to learn… But, after a couple of rounds of proof copies (first round, second round), I’m really happy with how these final versions have turned out! I quietly ordered myself the full set of the Rise and Shine books to double check everything was in order. And I am pleased to say they are, and so they’re now available for anyone and everyone!

We celebrated with a nice sidecar over the weekend, as pictured (boyfriend helped arrange that as he’s sharper than me with these things). FYI the sidecar is 2 parts cognac, 1 part triple sec or Cointreau, and 1 part lemon juice, shake with ice, strain, garnish with lemon twist. Do let me know if the sidecar is a fave of yours too, or if you decide to give it a go!

Oh, but before you get the cocktail shaker out, check out those links to the paperbacks, in case you’re thinking of doing a little Christmas shopping *wink wink*. How was that? Subtle enough?

P.S. For the Kiwis in the audience, I ordered mine from the Australian store and they arrived 8 days later – much faster than I’d expected with these shipping dramas lately.
