Accomplished author, cook and traveller Joan Alexander presents a fascinating insight into a life lived at the highest diplomatic level during the fragile time of post war British colonialism. It is also an account of survival of a potentially gruelling life in Cyprus, Aden, Nigeria and Kenya that had many women in her situation yearning for the lives they d left; turning to drink, drugs and extra marital sex in despair. But not Joan. Through the inner life of a writer and undying love for her diplomat husband Denis, she turned to the higher arts of the table to get her through. As well as some wonderful recipes, Joan Alexander offers us a unique perspective into this phase of the history of the British establishment and the strengths and foibles of those that hated it, loved it and endured it.
