The new Rainbow Charity Recipe Book for Bath is the brainchild of former city mayor Loraine Morgan-Brinkhurst MBE.
Having seen her friends and family sharing their culinary creations during lockdown, she decided to put together a recipe book for charity.
A former NHS worker of 25 years and Vice President of the Forever Friends Charity at Bath Royal United Hospital, Loraine set about collecting sponsors and was offered help from local designer Mark Norbury. At the time Somerset Life went to print she had sold more than 100 books in aid of Th Forever Friends Appeal, which is an ongoing charity that has also helped provide care packages, hot me and equipment to those in need during the pandemic.
Here are just a few of the recipes in the book. You make recognize some of the ‘chefs’...
