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 can’t say I didn’t like this book but it was a bit bland - maybe the storyteller was to blame? The accents and voices were good but ....I don’t know - I read it till the end but .....I don’t want to be rude as a lot of effort has obviously gone into it .........

Hummmmmm

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!

A fabulous’Can’t Put Down’ story. Strong story line, & another beautiful read by Colleen Prendergast - the best Narrater I have heard.... in fact if she is ‘reading’ a book, that in itself draws me to consider a book as much (or more?) than the story line!!!
Highly recommend this & you won’t be disappointed!👍

A Fabulous ‘Can’t Put Down’ ‘fun & feelings’ story.

Always great story lines from Cathy Bradley. Easy to listen to. I look forward to each glimpse into the different cosy worlds, every day.

Another fab listen

The narrator Colleen did some great strong accents in this one! I much prefer her when she does accents as otherwise everyone, male and female, sounds kind of the same. Her Irish and Liverpool accents were so enjoyable, but I can’t comment on how accurate they were.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story, it was a good journey through one woman sorting her life out with some luck and drama along the way. I love baking and food so all of that really appealed to me too. The story did feel a bit lost at times, like it was dragging things out, but I still enjoyed it to the end.

However, I found the main mystery plot line very over dramatic. I thought it was going to be much more than it was to have resulted in such bad fall outs and such emotions.

A great story very well read. A bit over dramatic though.
