'Hubble bubble, toil and trouble, Casserole burn and intrigues double 'Mitzi Blessing is on the scrapheap: forced into a very early retirement, a lifetime of organising the church flower rota and making cricket teas seems to loom gloomily ahead of her. With her two daughters seemingly happily settled, Mitzi is determined not to dwindle quietly into serene old age and sets about organising and revitalising Hazy Hassocks, the small rural community she has lived in all her life. However, with the discovery of her grandmother's cookery book in the attic,life for Mitzi and her friends and family starts to get very interesting. Full of old-fashioned recipes with enchanting names like Wishes Come True Pie, Mischief Night Cake, and Powers of Persuasion Pudding - Granny's dishes provide a nourishing meal, but they also seem to have some very surprising side effects indeed.

Great book about a retired bank worker who finds a book of spells. She tries them out and they work. She then carries on making spells and it causes havoc in her village. Full of humour this book is a great read for people who just want some fun.

The Magic In Food..,
By Priscilla (England, Lancashire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hubble Bubble (Be Careful What You Wish for) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I always enjoy a bit of magic in my books and this has plenty. Romance and an old recipe book, great story, great characters... not too sweet, just right. I often think of this book and in a way it inspired me.. One of the characters helps out at a local animal charity shop...I was really pulled into this book..I had never volunteered before and this book inspired me too..I now work at a charity shop! So I reccomend this book....See if the characters inspire you.

This review is from: Hubble Bubble (Hardcover)
As one of the thousands in this country that share the last name Hubbell and were teased growing up hearing people say "here comes hubble bubble, double trouble" I was curious to see what they would do with a book by that title. I was very happy with the results. I thought the author did a very good job and had to laugh at needing a disclaimer for the recipes. If you want a book that is good fun, get this one.
