To cook or not to cook...

But when you have a recipe book like this you will find it very hard not too. I was lucky that my recipe was chosen along with the good and greats of the food world industry.Page 27 if you wanted to know and still page 27 of you aren't interested. Rosemary Shrager,Simmon Crannage,Stephanie Moon,Annie Stirk and Tim Bilton to name but a few. This recipe book has been created by Angela Hobden -first photo -and her band of supporters at Selby College to raise money for Yorkshire Cancer Research in memory of a young man,Scott Robinson, who died of testicular cancer aged only 18 years old. A student of Selby College and promising young chef. The book launched on 12th November Everyone is very pleased with the variety of the delicious recipes in the book, the beautiful Yorkshire images and dialect and the whole reason behind the book. The initial target was to raise £10,000 for Yorkshire Cancer Research,now aiming for £15,000 which if we can reach it, will be amazing. If anyone would like to order any books or are interested in selling them in their restaurant or business pleased could you let Angela know as soon as possible as they have an opportunity to deliver some throughout Yorkshire on Monday 2nd December through Tina Boden who has kindly offered to drive around the county for us. It can't guarantee we can reach everyone but once we know if anyone is interested we can make some plans. Additionally we are trying to gauge if we need to go for a reprint as stocks are rapidly depleting. (we had 3000 printed originally) Therefore if you would like any books please could you let Angela know asap how many and where they would need to be delivered to, so we can make the appropriate decisions. Alternatively if you would like to order a single copy this can be done via our website www.thesweetestthoughts.com which we have now set up for paypal payments. After Christmas they are planning more promotion through media articles and are looking at promoting the book and testicular cancer awareness through some professional Yorkshire sporting clubs. This will keep the momentum going and continue to support Yorkshire Cancer Research. Angie and the students Dot, Danny, Kelly, Sean, Hannah and Patrick have worked very hard and their number is 01757 211164
