A PARTY atmosphere was enjoyed at the launch of the book 'Puddings and Prayers from Cornwall'. Many churches have individually published cookery books in various forms but this was a first — a book of recipes and prayers by Methodist women from all over Cornwall. The book not only highlights puddings particularly made in Cornwall, but includes some meaningful prayers, especially written, and some illustrations and pictures of Cornwall. The launch, at the Hidden Valley Discovery Park, began with a prayer, 'In Praise of Puddings', followed by cookery demonstrations of some of the puddings by Alison Gribble.
