A NEW village cookbook, packed with delicious recipes for anything from a slow cook weekend, to a delicious dessert was launched in Littlebury on Saturday.

Visitors were able to sample some of the recipes in Littlebury Cooks! before taking up the opportunity to buy the book. Limited edition prints of the cover, a fantasy diversion alongside the River Cam, by local artist Lizzie Sanders were also available.

Jo Hancock, chairman of Littlebury Village Hall Committee which organised the making of the book, said: “I would like to express our thanks to all those who helped to make the book a reality including all those who submitted the recipes.”
