Win a copy of The Secret Cooking Club

Mix three cups of friendship, a spoonful of cringey Mum and a sprinkle of first love – and what do you have? A warm, touching and cosy novel, perfect to satisfy your cooking cravings during the next series of The Great British Bake Off!

The winner of the 2015 Times/Chicken House Children’s Fiction Competition, The Secret Cooking Club is the first novel by author Laurel Remington. Contemporary, original and with a sprinkling of humour, The Secret Cooking Club follows twelve- year-old Scarlett as she discovers the secret ingredient to happiness – through cooking!

Shy Scarlett is the star and victim of her mum’s popular lifestyle blog – the butt of school jokes, she’s eager to stay firmly out of the spotlight. But one evening, she finds a gorgeous kitchen in the house next door, left empty by an elderly neighbour in hospital. As Scarlett bakes, she starts to transform her life, discovering new friends and forming the Secret Cooking Club. But can she find the secret ingredients – to cake, family and friendship?

Tying in with the 2016 series of The Great British Bake Off (due to start next week), The Secret Cooking Club is the perfect read for all junior bakers! A gorgeously written novel with tonnes of heart, this is a novel which will make even the most inexperienced cook reach for the oven gloves.

The Secret Cooking Club by Laurel Remington is published by Chicken House, August 2016, priced £6.99. It is aimed at young readers aged 10+.
