**Buttery passages are slathered with food imagery, and Scott conjures markets, pantries, and laden tables you won’t want to leave. A sweet treat of a book. — *Kirkus Reviews*** **With delectable prose, a sharp heroine ahead of her time, and an adventure across the English countryside in search of great food, *Good Taste* is the perfect historical novel for fans of *Dear Mrs. Bird* and *The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society*.** *You can tell a lot about a person from what they like to eat…* England in 1932 is in the grip of the Great Depression. Stella Douglas, author of a much-loved but not very successful biography, is a bit depressed herself. When she’s summoned to see her editor in London, she expects her writing career is over before it’s even started. But much to her surprise, she is being commissioned to write a history of English food. It’s to be quintessentially English and intended to lift the sprits of the nation. There’s just one problem: a lot of English food is actually quite terrible (and anything good is usually imported from elsewhere). So Stella travels across England in hopes of discovering a hidden culinary gem. What she discovers is oatcakes and gravy and lots and lots of potatoes. But when her car breaks down midjourney and the dashing and charismatic antiques dealer Freddie springs to her rescue, she is led in a very different direction . . . Full of wit, life, and—against all odds—delicious food, *Good Taste* is a story of discovery and one woman’s desire to make her own way as a modern woman. **Lively, poignant, witty and beautifully written, and all driven by a wonderful character in Stella Douglas, I couldn’t stop turning the pages. — Hazel Gaynor, *New York Times *bestselling author of* The Last Lifeboat***
