WE all need something to bring a smile to our faces during lockdown and Steeton’s Jean Smith has edited a recipe book to do just that.

It will make a great stocking filler this Christmas and aims to raise much needed funds for St Stephen’s Church Steeton with Eastburn.

Jean was inspired when church members shared with her some of their favourite recipes and she thought they should be made more widely available- together with the stories surrounding them.

There are 26 recipes from the simple to the sublime - light bites, meat, fish and vegetable dishes, cakes and puddings, tea time treats and sweet treats.

And, with each recipe there is a line or two about why a particular dish is important to the writer and their family.

Only 100 have been produced so get in quick to secure you copy . Call Jean on 07825877429 or email jeansmith50@btinternet.com to get yours or get one from St Stephen’s church during opening hours Sundays and Wednesdays 10am-11.30am.

All proceeds go to the work and life of St Stephen’s church.
