About this listen
Things haven’t always been straightforward in Poppy’s life but her dreams are finally within her reach.
She's moving into a cottage in beautiful Nightingale Square, close to the local community garden, where she can indulge her passion for making preserves and pickles. She may not have the best relationship with her family but she is surrounded by loving friends, and feels sure that even her grumpy new neighbour, Jacob, has more to him than his steely exterior belies.
But the unexpected arrival of Poppy's troubled younger brother soon threatens her new-found happiness and as the garden team works together to win community space of the year, Poppy must decide where her priorities lie and what she is prepared to fight for …

For Sam Lovell, organising the summer festival in her hometown is one of the highlights of her year. It’s not always smooth sailing, but she loves to see Porthmellow’s harbour packed with happy visitors and being on the committee has provided a much-needed distraction from the drama in her family life (and the distinct lack of it in her love life). When their star guest pulls out with only a few weeks to go, everyone’s delighted when a London chef who grew up locally steps in at the last minute.

The perfect summer read
Heidi Swain never disappoints and Poppy’s Recipe for Life is a summer delight.
Nightingale Square and it’s residents will quickly capture your heart. Heidi creates relatable scenarios that always leave me craving more. This is a must read/listen if you are a fan of her work.

Absolutely delightful!!!
This is the third book in this series I’ve read and am just in love with Nightengale Square and all the characters. The heart and dynamics of all the relationships and how they support each other just makes me smile and feel like I’m right there with them.

Feel-good story
Perfect for light summer fare. Not great literature, but a great narrator and likable main characters.

Light summer read
Cozy light summer read. Made me want to find a little village with people who care about each other. Great escape during this bleak times.

Okay
I thought the story was a little formulaic but it was a lighthearted read. Karen Cass was terrific as usual.

I love this writer. This book was so-so. Normally I devour them. This was like cold Mac n cheese. I liked the narrator.
