An avid foodie and writer, Nell Hampton (AKA Nancy J. Parra) decided to finally combine her two loves. She lives in Richmond, VA.Her new novel is Lord of the Pies.
Recently I asked Hampton/Parra about what she was reading. Her reply:
Oh, gosh so many wonderful things. I’m really into research right now for my next book and I’ve been reading British cook books. I have this great one called The Royal Touch by Caroline Robb. She was Princess Diana’s personal chef when the boys were young and the storiesVisit Nell Hampton / Nancy J. Parra's website, Facebook page, and Twitter perch.that she intersperses with her recipes are wonderful. I like the insight into how the Princes grew up.
I also am reading some great history books on London and Kensington palace. The workings of large households fascinate me.
