SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Come and Meet Author Taruna Chauhan
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author Taruna Chauhan\, who will be signing copies of her new book\, Recipes From A Gujarati Kitchen. \nRecipes from a Gujarati Kitchen contains recipes that have been passed down to Taruna Chauhan from her mother\, mother-in-law\, and other family members. For Taruna\, food was an important part of growing up. Whenever her family had visitors\, they never left without eating\, and even as a low-income family\, there was always food on the table. Taruna’s love for food and cooking has never left her\, and learning to cook at school gave her the skills to cook European foods\, along with the Indian dishes she learnt from her mother. \nShe began writing after the passing of her mother\, to capture in print the traditional recipes that have only been passed between her family orally\, and so anyone who wants to learn to cook can give them a try.

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Come and Meet Author and Chef Bia Rodrigues Perry
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author and chef Bia Rodrigues Perry\, who will be signing copies of her book\, Bia’s Kitchen Show. \n“Bia’s Kitchen Show: A Culinary Journey of Gratitude” is more than just a cookbook; it’s an inspiring celebration of food\, resilience\, and community. \nRooted in Bia’s own journey of overcoming personal challenges through her passion for cooking\, this beautifully crafted collection invites readers to embark on a flavourful adventure. Featuring recipes from her popular online TV series – as well as some of her own creations – the book introduces some of the best independent food businesses in Warwickshire\, showcasing talented chefs\, nutritionists\, and food artisans who bring their love of culinary art to life. \nFrom comforting family meals to exotic dishes\, the recipes in this book are both accessible and inventive\, allowing home cooks of all levels to recreate the magic of these local chefs in their own kitchens. \nAlongside these mouth-watering dishes\, Brazilian-born Bia shares her heartfelt story of how cooking became her path to happiness\, making this book a deeply personal and uplifting read. \nWhether you’re a foodie looking for new inspiration or someone who finds solace in the art of cooking\, this book delivers an abundance of flavours and stories that will stir your soul. Plus\, every purchase makes a difference\, with all proceeds supporting the mental health charity\, MIND\, in honour of those facing similar struggles. \nDive into this fantastic cookbook full of gratitude\, community\, and flavour\, and discover how cooking can heal and bring people together. \nBio \nBianca Rodrigues-Perry is an award-winning entrepreneur\, foodie\, presenter\, author and influencer from Leamington. \nBia’s journey of reinvention began when she left behind her family and a high-flying marketing career in 2009\, emigrating from her native Rio de Janeiro\, now newly married – her future devoted to what became her new role as mum of three. \n But it was also to signal the start of a turbulent period in her life\, spending much of her pregnancy battling crippling sickness and post-natal depression\, a series of health scares involving her children and the death of a family member who tragically took his own life. Her book is dedicated to him. \n It’s Bia’s combined passions of cooking and entrepreneurialism that eventually became a lifeline – even going on to win Couple’s Come Dine With Me on Channel Four. Buoyed by her early business success of running a thriving food delivery service during lockdown\, it was in January last year that she stepped out of the shadows of her busy Cubbington kitchen once more\, and into the limelight. The Bia’s Kitchen brand was born. \nSince then Bianca and her Bia’s Kitchen Show\, which is streamed on YouTube\, have won the affections of a loyal and growing audience\, even winning the entrepreneur national awards\, recognising the enterprise and compassion she has shown in her work with local businesses. \nhttps://biaskitchenshow.com/

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing - Come and Meet Local Author Rita John
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author Rita John\, who will be signing copies of her new fiction books\, Sex\, Drugs\, Bread Rolls & Armed Robberies & It’s All Pricks And Balls This Christmas & Giblet Stew. \nRita John is a Coventry author and has two true stories based on her upbringing and struggles working at a major food retailer and a 1970’s pub chain. \nThe novels are raw\, unflinching\, and ultimately hopeful. Part memoir\, part fiction; both novels expose the systemic failures that kept women trapped in violent marriages while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. It’s a story of survival against impossible odds\, the unbreakable bonds between mothers and children\, and the power of breaking free to reclaim one’s life. A testament to how far we’ve come in protecting abuse victims – and how far we still have to go. \nOne reader stated that John’s ‘ability to weave humour into such intense themes is truly remarkable’.
