|summary=Amber wakes up. And in a way, there is a case for that being all the plot summary I give you. So I'll be careful when I elaborate, and say she wakes up in a hospital, the day after a car crash, in a state where she remembers nothing. She can pick up emotions and so on, but she knows nothing about where the car was going, or who she is. And to be honest, my opening sentence is a lie. Because the girl has only two objects about her, and one is an amber necklace, she takes the word as her name – even that seems to be in the past. But she's not in the hospital for long, and even as she faces the blank slate of a new life, some things that might be deeply buried in her start to surface…

|summary=Simon Hopkinson loves to cook: it’s not just his profession but his passion and not a day goes by but that he cooks. I’m always nervous when I pick up books by professionals: so often [[New British Classics by Gary Rhodes|they forget]] that the amateur cook rarely cooks for eight, ten or twelve people, but Hopkinson is wise. Most of his recipes are for four people - some you could divide or scale up if that was what you required - and they’re all designed on the basis that they’re going to be enjoyed by the family or a group of friends. So, what’s in the book? Meals - a dozen of them.
