This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

I loved this book so easy to read amazing food loved the characters you can relate to them they become your friends i was there with them just a lovleu warm plot great story i recommend to every loved it

I absolutely loved this book! It was an easy read and part of a 4 book series. The story has a good pace and introduces each character well. I wanted to join the cookery club!

I am so sorry, my old kindle broke and I lost all of my old books before getting the chance to read this title, that is why I have not been reviewing for some time xx The cover did attract me though and I adore cooking so it must have been good

This is book #2 in the Cotswold's Cookery Series. I do recommend the entire series but this can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone.
This book focused on three of the Cookery members and their trials in life. I love the humor of these books and how realistic each character is throughout.
Connie , Melody and Kate are the focus and each is facing challenges. The thread of this series is friendship and compassion which each of the women offer each other.
I love the sweet nature of this series. This is refreshing change to read and a nice read for a afternoon

Thank you for the ARC which did not influence my review.

Another good one with the characters back. Nice to see them again..good story

Trish Ford is having a bad year. Her husband Ian left her for his assistant Chloe, a smart and beautiful 20-something. Her daughter Amber turned from sweet and kind into a sarcastic, caustic teenaged girl who blames Trish for her father's leaving. Now Trish, in her 40s, an illustrator for children's books, needs more in her life. Fortunately for her, she stumbles into Connie. 

When Amber decides to take a paper route in the next Cotswold village (clearly, there's a crush-worthy teenaged boy involved in this plan), Trish goes to the newsagent's to get some more information. And there she meets Connie, one of the founding members of a cookery club. Before Trish knows what's happening, her daughter has her paper route and Trish has an invitation to enjoy a Spanish themed dinner with Connie, Kate, and Melody. 

Through Trish's husband leaving and getting his new girlfriend pregnant, Trish has learned to enjoy cooking, so the cookery club is just what she needs to deal with all the challenges that are coming at her. A new hobby, three new friends, and new opportunities help Trish to open back up to life and remember how it feels to flirt and be flirted with.

A story of family, friendship, and really good food, The Cotswolds Cookery Club: Spain (this is book 2 in the series), is absolutely adorable in every way. Book one is Connie's story, complete with the food of Italy, and the series ends with Kate's story and the food of France. They can be taken in order or not, but they should definitely be enjoyed with a cup of tea and a bit of chocolate. 

As endearing as an English village in the country, as filling as a really great meal, as healing as a great night with your best girlfriends, Alice Ross's The Cotswolds Cookery Club is a feast for the mind and soul. Take a trip to the charming English countryside and settle in for a fun, fast read.

I really enjoyed this book. Excellent storyline and great main characters. I would recommend this book.

Fantastic book,it's a must read,very well written,can't wait to read more of them.

Well that was rather lovely! I am a sucker for a foodie book and this one was so good! Having read the first one the start seemed a little unconnected but it soon knitted together and you were off on the journey. I need to stop reading these books whilst hungry though. I would highly recommend this book/series to anyone who loves a quick, fun read full of romance, food, a splash of drama and a lot of giggles! Loved it, thanks you very much for letting me read it.

When I realised this was part two in the series of the Cotswold's cookery club books I thought I'd read that one first ( "A Taste of Italy",) straight away I was caught up in the story, a story of Connie who is drifting through life , she's just split from her long time boyfriend and has moved back home with her mum and dad, not really happy she jumps at the chance to house sit for friends in the Cotswold's and here she starts to find herself, buy starting a small cookery club for a handful of ladies, here she finds friendship over recipes from different places in the world, and I couldn't wait to read this one in "A taste of Spain" the story expands on the main characters from the first book, but brings in a new cookery club member, but the way Alice Ross writes her characters they gel together well, and you keep reading as you want to know what will happen with each lady as all their trials and tribulations are very relate able to our own everyday lives and with laughter and good food everything is put to rights.
I look forward to reading more from this author.

It's so nice to be back in the Cotswolds, reconnecting with the members of the Cookery Club which has moved on since the first book and, with the departure of one member, signs up a new addition in Trish.

Trish is a fabulous character and every woman with a teenager will identify with her home life. She can be quite exasperating at times but provides great entertainment. As with the first, this is a good stand-alone read .. well plotted and with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. My only gripe would be that it ends at 91% to allow for a preview of the third book - something I'm not a fan of.

This is all round entertainment encompassing each member of the Cookery Club, characters from the first book and introducing a few new ones. Superb writing, as always from Alice Ross, makes for a thoroughly enjoyable all round read and one which I would highly recommend - even if you're not a foodie!

My grateful thanks to publisher HQ Digital for permitting me to read this arc via NetGalley in exchange for my honest, original and unbiased review.

A cookery club where you get to try out recipes from a particular country while spending time with like-minded women - mmm - sounds intriguing.
I hadn't read the first book in this series but certainly, after reading this book I would like to go back and read the backstory to the characters that litter this second addition to the series as this taste was certainly delicious.
Trish is not feeling terribly positive about life - age is creeping up on her, her ex has just got his new partner (much younger and buxomer) pregnant and her teenage daughter, Amber is not impressed with her mother in any way. Bumping into the lovely Connie (a character who apparently was central to the first book) while organising Amber's paper round, Trish is invited to join a cookery club that Connie is part of and it seems exactly what she needs to find a new direction in life. Quickly Trish becomes part of the world of Connie, Kate and Melody who set up the club in book one -'The Cotswolds Cookery Club'. It appears on the surface that these three women have quite good lives though it is clear that something is going on in Kate's that might not quite be kosher. (Probably a story to return to at a future point)
This book is highly entertaining if only for the two closest people in Trish's life - Amber and her ex, Eric, who never seems to be far away from Trish's front door and seems to enter just at the wrong time every time. Amber is a classic teenager and definitely brought a grin to my face with her antics and attitudes - I think I have seen versions of her living in my house.
The romance is sprinkled into the pages with just the right amount of quantity (a new man enters Trish's life in quite an amusing way) - I hope that Trish continues to find some happiness as the series progresses. The descriptions of the food made my mouth water and I really wanted to be at the Mexican Fiesta - good to have a few takeaway menus handy as you read this book. (Saves having to cook - more time to read). I look forward to reading the next episode and seeing where life takes these ladies next on their cooking adventures.

This book grabbed me from the title as it was about my 2 favourite things Cooking and Spain! This is the 2nd out of 3 books from The Cotswolds Cookery club and the story revolves round Trish and her daughter Amber.
Trishs' husband has moved out with his younger girlfriend leaving Trish and Amber to get used to their life in the Cotswolds by themselves. After a chance meeting Trish meets Connie who has started the Cotswold Cookery Club along with 3 other women.
This is the only one in the series that I have read but I will be reading the other 2.
This is a quick and pleasing read filled with food, humour , romance and leaves you with a feel good feeling.

Despite this being a very short read it is a delightful one. This is the second book in the serialisation of The Cotswolds Cookery Club (A Taste of Spain). Life moves on for our characters and some new introductions are made too - all the while Trish, herself, is gaining more confidence in both herself and in her abilities. Chapters are short and snappy and, overall, it's an enjoyable feelgood read - ideal for a coffee break.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. This was fun, laugh out loud and a real feel good read. You go Connie.

Nice short book if thats what you enjoy. Lovely feel good book to enjoy over the summer. Nice mix of wome thrown in and you have a cookery club whats not to love in a book

Enjoyed this more than the first book in the series. Trish's story was much more palatable than that of Connie but the ending here seemed tacked on as an afterthought. Lots of things happen and then bam, a six weeks later update? Very odd. Wish the author had taken a few more pages to fill in some of the blanks.

Either way this is an enjoyable little series of quick reads.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from NetGalley for my unbiased opinion of the book. I started reading this book and realized it was the second in this series. I flew through the first book in under 2 hours. I gladly started this book. I flew through this one too!!! I am really loving this series. I love how the main character in this book Trish started out with no backbone and ended up with new respect of herself, as well as, some well needed backbone. I love in this series there several different stories going on at once. The only downsides to this book its 300 pages too short and no recipes. I may have to read the rest of the series on the treadmill. lol

This is the second book in The Cotswolds Cookery Club, entitled a Taste of Spain, by Alice Ross. And while this is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone title for a new reader. This story revolves around the newest member of the cookery club, Trish, who is moving on with her life after her husband left her and their teenaged daughter for his office assistant. Through the women in the cookery club and a chance encounter with a handsome banker, Steve, Trish believes her life is finally falling into place after the last difficult year. But then her ex-husband turns up, temporarily moves back in, and attempts to reestablish his place in the family, as though his terrible decisions have not ruined his previous marriage. Trish finds her voice and her independence as well as delicious Spanish dishes in this edition of The Cotswolds Cookery Club. The scenic descriptions of the the Cotswolds and the ever-present English charm make this story a delightful read.
