Many of us love cooking it too.
When I write, I do all three in my imagination and don't gain a kilo. But my plus-size fabulous heroine Virginia does all three and stays gorgeous, curvy and sexy.
You can meet her free in my novel Love Classified now via Kindle.
Here's a run-down of her story:
When 35 year-old e-magazine editor Virginia
Brook answers a classified ad for a female travel companion in her local paper,
her life changes dramatically.
A virgin – and a gourmet cook – Virginia is
sure no man could be interested in her size 18 body but she has 12 weeks of
holiday-leave to use up and decides to take the plunge and meet whoever placed
the ad, hoping her fear that he’s an axe murderer is just that – a paranoid
fear.
She ends up travelling around the
south-west of Western Australia with handsome Magnus Winchester who only has to
utter one syllable for Virginia’s body to respond voluptuously. He is beyond
her wildest dreams yet he sees her very differently from the way she sees
herself.
There’s more to Magnus than meets the eye
but Virginia, always a connoisseur, abandons herself to the incredible pleasures
of love-making, not knowing until almost the end of their journey that he is a
doctor living with a burden of guilt after the death of one of his patients.
Jealousy, mistaken identities, friendship
and love add flavor to their deepening relationship. Magnus proves himself a
good and brave man several times during their camper-van travels but not until
he and Virginia rescue and treat a horse who gallops into a barbed-wire fence during
a storm does he have the confidence to take up his career again, with Virginia
at his side.
Here are some of the delicious things they eat over the course of their lovestory:
* spicy chicken breast with avocado sauce, topped with coriander, cumin and paprika

in crisp wanton cups, camembert with pear compote on pumpernickel, chicken and
port pâté on polenta crisps

strawberry compote
