It's been a couple months since I read this novel so I'm unfortunately a little fuzzy on some of the details. What I do remember is that it was cute and fluffy and romantic and festive. These are not necessarily my favorite attributes in a novel but that does not mean it wasn't a good story.

Most importantly, it makes no bones about intending to be anything other than cute, fluffy, romantic, and festive. And it is that in spades.

A little too sweet and syrupy sometimes, for my personal taste, but if you're looking for those things in a story, this is probably just the book for you.

A light and sweet book set at Christmas with some lovely moments

Perfect Christmas read.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

I didnt realise this was a romance - my fault! It is an ok read if you like that kind of thing, unfortunately I dont, however I chose the wrong title - nothing wrong with the prose.

Enjoyed the carry on from the first book, but this one wasn’t as good. Rachel relies very heavily on her Mum for babysitting etc, and she doesn’t treat Tom very well, and then *spoiler alert* he asks her to marry him at the end! Little unbelievable for me. I’d look out for Caroline’s next books, and I enjoyed the reference to her other books in this one. Thank you for approving my request and I look forward to Caroline’s next one.

What a lovely story, I am looking forward to reading more books by Caroline.
Rachel and her mum Jill are determined to make the pudding pantry work. With Christmas not far off they set up the Christmas pudding pantry club to try and encourage more business. With the help of Granny Ruth and new friends they hope to make a success of things.
This is a lovely cozy story which will fill you with some festive cheer. There are also some lovely recipe's I will definitely be giving a go.

After falling in love with The Cosy Tea shop in the Castle books, I knew this series would be the same and who doesn't love a Christmas book. First thing first, I love Primrose Farm, how I can imagine it in my head from the first moment I read it and how it gets more vivid with any new information. I love how this book is not only about Christmas but romance, pulling together to help each other and about supporting each other. This book draws on issues which people would experience running a business but using friendship and hope it makes for fantastic and festive read from start to finish. Can't wait to the next one!

I really loved this cozy, Christmas time romance. It was just what I needed to read after a bit of a stressful few days.

Rachel and her boyfriend Tom, Rachel's daughter, Rachel's Mum and Rachel's Gran are the main characters of the story. They are all lovely people, and I enjoyed reading about them and what they got up to running Primrose Farm and the Pudding Pantry, as well as as the pudding workshops. The book holds a lot of recipes, so if you are into baking, you will love this. This is a great book to read at Christmas time, as it is heartwarming, and it carries a lot of Christmas cheer and seasonal magic!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A lovely warm read and great to be back with old friends. The book draws you in from the first page and leaves you with a warm feeling, and the food and recipes sound amazing... don't read it if you are feeling hungry!

Somehow missed this book on my kindle, just discovered it and even though its not Christmas I thoroughly enjoyed it .Was like stepping into a comfortable pair of s slippers having read the previous pudding pantry books i was once again catching up with Rachel, Jill, Ruth and Masiie and the fabulous Farmhouse pantry. Full of warmth and nostalgia was a real pleasure to once again share their lives and it felt like i was back with my friends. .A lovely feelgood read and look forward to the next book in this series and I might even try some of the fantastic recipes which are a bonus but don't think they will be as good as theirs.

This book is heartwarming and filled with festive cheer.
I liked how the chapters were filled with recipes.
Looking forward to the next instalment

I absolutely ADORED this book. It was as light and fluffy as a good cake. The characters were delightful, the story was full of hope and joy and I read it in a single sitting. I LOVED it.

I received a digital arc of this from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I had really enjoyed the first book in this series but I loved this one more. Perhaps because I knew the characters already, but it was just a lovely heart warming story with great people and food. I can't wait to read the next one in this series and see what life holds for the people of Primrose Farm.

Such a lovely Christmas Read. I have not read the other books in the series and will definitely be reading them, It was still a good stand along story. Definitely recommend you curl up with nice cuppa and enjoy this one.

A good cosy, curl up in front of the fire Christmas novel full of lovely food, romance, sadness, hope and snow. An easy read to pick up between wrapping presents and writing cards so perfect for December. I haven’t read the other books in this series but will certainly be putting them on my TBR list. If you like a good old fashioned romance then this is for you. The recipes were an added bonus too. Thank you NetGalley and One More Chapter for letting me read and review this book.

The second book in the series and it is a bit stronger than the first book - the characters come through better. Nice and happy read for Christmas.

This is the 2nd in a trilogy(so far). Rachel, her Mum and her gran are still recovering from the suicide of Rachel's Dad. He was a farmer, who just couldn't cope any longer. She opened the Pudding Pantry in the Spring, so that locals and walkers and passers by, could enjoy tea, coffee, food and drink. However, towards the end of Autumn, trade drops off. So she decides to run a monthly Cake and Pudding recipe exchange one evening to encourage people to come, drink tea and coffee, and sample thinks that her, her family, and others can enjoy. It proves to be a success, and brings in more business.
The recipes are included, and the story itself is like a cozy blanket to wrap around yourself in the winter-time.
Anyone who loves baking, or cozy stories will love this!

An excellent second book, Rachel and her Mum are still running the farm and keeping the Pudding Pantry going but business has slowed after the Summer rush. They wrack their brains for new ideas and start up a Pudding Club which brings in new friends. Christmas is on the horizon and Christmas puddings feature at one of the club evenings. With all the pressure to keep things going Rachel has little time for her budding romance with Tom and things come to a head. A really enjoyable read, looking forward to the next instalment in book three.

Rachel Swinton took over the running of Primrose Farm after the death of her father two years previously and with the help of her mother Jill, they barely manage to keep their head above water. They decide to turn one of the barns into a tea shop called The Pudding Pantry which has a slow start in customers.
Both women work tirelessly and every hour possible to build up trade and keep the farm going which makes little time for Rachel's five year old daughter Maisy difficult plus a new and budding romance with Tom - the farmer from next door.
This is not a fast paced, gripping tale but is one of determination and responsibility and makes a lovely gentle read. Be warned though that most chapters start with a detailed recipe of a Christmas pudding which may just drastically affect your waistline.

Another tasty morsel about the Pudding Pantry that just makes you hungry, so don't be on a diet when you read it. It's warm and gentle, there are no great surprises, but it's a perfect read for a cosy couch on a cold day

Christmas at Rachel’s Pudding Pantry, being book 2 in the series, re-introduces the reader to the residents of Primrose Farm. Rachel Swinton and her mother Jill have been running Primrose Farm since the death of Rachel’s father some 2 years earlier. Money is tight. Turning one of the barns into a tea shop, named the Pudding Pantry, seemed an ideal solution, but as winter draws in the number of customers dwindles. Looking for a new plan to keep the farm afloat, Rachel and Jill decide to have a go at running a ‘pudding club’. Will this prove successful enough to support the farm through the slow winter months…?

In between the farm, the pudding pantry, the new pudding club and being single mother to young Maisy, Rachel may have bitten off more than she can chew. Her hectic schedule leaves little time for her budding romance with neighbour and fellow farmer, Tom, and the situation is further compounded when a figure from the past arrives to cause trouble.

As the tale flitted between a whole host of problems that keep appearing for poor Rachel and her family. I was particularly drawn in by a scene during a snow storm in which Rachel and Tom work against the clock to save their flocks. The writing flows well and the pace of the story is just right.

Christmas at Rachel’s Pudding Pantry is an uplifting and heart-warming story of family, friendship and indulgent deserts. Cosy, romantic and funny, it is a perfect easy read for a cold wintery day. However, be warned that in addition to the mention of numerous mouth-watering morsels, the book contains a number of Christmas recipes that will very likely tempt you into a bit of festive baking.

Thank you to One More Chapter (Harper Collins) and Netgalley for providing me with a review copy of this book.
