Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book,

Another brilliant read from Tilly. Eden gives up her job and moves to the little village of seaglass bay and starts over.

Tilly Tennant’s Eden’s Comfort Kitchen is a warm, heartfelt story that is as much about personal growth and community as it is about the comfort of good food. With her signature blend of relatable characters and idyllic settings, Tennant takes readers on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and second chances.
The story revolves around Eden, a talented but disillusioned chef who seeks solace in the sleepy seaside village of Clove Lore. After escaping the fast-paced world of fine dining and personal heartbreak, Eden sets up her own cozy kitchen, hoping to rediscover her passion for cooking while finding a sense of belonging. As the quaint town welcomes her with open arms, Eden forms deep connections with the locals—each bringing their own struggles and joys into her life.
Overall, Eden’s Comfort Kitchen is a delightful, feel-good read that will leave you craving a cozy spot by the sea and a slice of homemade cake. Tennant’s writing is warm and engaging, making this book perfect for fans of uplifting women’s fiction and stories about second chances. It’s a comforting escape into a world where food, love, and community can heal even the deepest wounds.

A nice, easy read. Loved the storyline and the location. Eden and Livia’s friendship was lovely as well. Feel like the growing relationship between Eden and Cam needed more. The ending was a bit sudden

I’m a cover art addict and this one ticks all the boxes , you actually just want to climb into it and be part of the town and its people , even more so once you’ve read the last page 🥰📕 I’ll be sure to be reading more of this author 😉

Eden leaves home after a tragic event that she blames herself for and while it wasn’t her fault I understand her pain and guilt . She heads to the small costal of Sea Glass Bay, where she’ll be staying at Four Winds Cottage , when she was a young girl they used to go there for holidays and she’s fond memories of buying eggs and honey from the local s and where else do you go to recover other than a place that has warm memories , that hugs your heart ❣️

Her sister Caitlin and her have a strained relationship and some of the issues she had are valid but others not so much and there was a time where I seriously disliked her but be patient with her she actually is a gem and she was coming from a place of sadness , fear and hurt , give her a chance 🥰

Anyhoo Eden makes friends with Livia and I think her mum along with the kids are the healing balm she needs , the whole town is actually so embracing 🥰 Eden picks up on something while working in the pub and an idea is formed and along with her new found “family” it becomes a reality and it’s perfect , even when their place is under threat but an old colleague , everything firework out for the best and I’ll be honest I did shed a bit more than a few tears 😉

This is a book about family , forgiveness, redemption, community , ice cream and good food 🥰 a memorable read that will have characters climbing deep into your heart and that will stay with you long after 🥰🤗

Thank you NetGalley for this electronic copy !

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cozy, comforting, wonderful book. I enjoyed it a lot!

Heartwarming and fast read with a cozy setting by the sea.
The romance angle was a bit bland and unfortunately didn’t pull me in.
The sense of community was endearing.
All in all, parts of the story appealed to me.

Funny. Sweet and heartfelt. I loved this book so much and found myself thinking about it when I wasn't reading it as I just wanted to pick it up again. Perfect for a wet day. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

A wonderfully heartwarming book! It’s all about redemption and not letting the past colour the future. Join Eden, and some wonderful characters, as they bring people together to help build community.

A lovely book with a real community feel addressing the issues of deprivation in coastal regions. I enjoyed it, the characters were good and enough of a plot to keep you interested. Slight rush at the end but still worth reading. Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy

After the death of her mother, Eden leaves her high glying corporate job and heads for the small seaside town she spent holidays in as a child. Shocked by how much some are struggling, she decides to start up a meal venture for locals. But all that is threatened when her former boss makes an appearance. My only issue with this book is that the ending seemed quite abrupt.

This one fell a bit flat for me. Didn't really like the characters, it all seemed a bit rushed and unbelievable. Definitely not one of my favourite reads by this author.

Another lovely story from this author with a great coastal setting and plenty of strong characters. I loved the idea of the community kitchen and the way she shows that it can be hard for people who are overrun in the tourist season but then struggle in the winter. A lovely warmhearted book that draws you in

Eden returns to Four Winds Cottage after recently losing her mother. She has so many great memories there especially past holidays. Seaglass Bay was always such a comfort for her so she is hoping that it will be now, when she needs it the most. Her mother always helped the local villagers during the holiday visitors go home. Eden wants to continue her mother’s legacy so she opens a community kitchen, where friends and families can have a home cooked meal. The villagers enjoy spending time with each other while enjoying Eden’s wonderful heartwarming meals. Cam arrives in Seaglass Bay and he is determined to purchase the land that Eden’s new kitchen is sitting on. She won’t go down without a fight and so she challenges Cam to a cooking challenge. But when Cam up and leaves without warning Eden wonders if she failed to win over his heart and save her comfort kitchen that has given her a new purpose?

Eden’s Comfort Kitchen, written by author Tilly Tennant is a wonderful story of reminiscing on the past and making a new beginning while meeting new friends along the way. I absolutely loved the story of Eden, she had such a great heart and wanted to help all those around her. Seaglass Bay sounds like such a lovely place to visit. Tennant is so great at transporting the reader from wherever they are in the world to the location in the story. I loved Seaglass Bay and the villagers felt like family. This story hits all the feels and I loved it, so I highly recommend it!

Eden's Comfort Kitchen by Tilly Tennant

A cozy and emotional read! If you like some romantic story and which happens in the coastline, this is the book for you. The story was about Eden. You could feel her life was like a rollercoaster. I enjoyed much about the life in Seaglass Bay. The community kitchen bought everyone together. The laughters and chatting there were just amazing. Definitely a feel good story!

Many thanks for NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for my copy.

I had a real sense of deja vu on starting this book, to the point I actually had to go and check my 'read' list incase I'd already read it.

I initially found Eden to be intensely unlikeable, which was a refreshing change from falling in love with the main character almost instantly. This also made her feel very real as everyone in real life is flawed in some way. She did have a great redemption arc, and one of her best qualities was her ability to reflect on how she'd messed up in the past and change her behaviour.

Whilst the story was largly predictable, I liked the narrative on the poverty that exists in seaside towns, and the realistic depictions of grief, community and family. It, for me, was also about learning what is important in life, which is something we all do at some time or another.

If you love cosy seaside romances then this is for you!

This was a read that I went into without knowing to much and had not read the blurb, this is something which I like to do with a contemporary stories. We follow Eden after her mother has passed away and she wants to escape to be able to start healing from this loss. While she is in the little village of Seaglass Bay she realises that there is a need for a community project and through this she starts to find herself again. The author has research how grief and loss which means that the characters are very well rounded with a strong basis in the emotional side of the story.

This story takes the main protagonist on a life-changing emotional journey. It begins with Eden starting a new life in Sea Glass Bay after running from her former life after an unexpected tragedy. Eden is a woman in turmoil, grieving and full of guilt. This part of the story is full of negativity, and the reader wonders if Eden will find a way to be happy. The community in the seaside town is close-knit, but they welcome the young women, and their kindness gives them the courage to take her life in a new direction. There is a strong community spirit, which defines the story. A thread of conflict brings romance into Eden's life but also threatens to destroy her new confidence. I like the friends Eden makes, and I want them to have good lives. The story has a lovely setting and a heartwarming ethos.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

A gentle, heart-warming hug of a small town romance!

Eden is still grieving the loss of her mum. She needs a change of scenery and heads to one of the places she has fond memories of, Seaglass Bay. She soon realises that the town of her childhood fantasies is very much on the real world - the residents are having a tough time, working multiple jobs and still not making ends meet. She gets a new fire in her belly and thinks up ways to help her new friends and neighbours.

Her community café, where you pay what you can afford, would appear to be a way to help the locals without making them feel like a charity but a local developer wants the land the café is on.

I love a gentle romance sometimes. No heart stopping action scenes, just a gentle delve into the emotions of life and with this story we really delve into grief. This was a quickish read for me and I happily read it all in one go. The townspeople are brilliantly written and I really enjoyed getting to know all those differing personalities.

The ending did seem a wee bit rushed and I would have loved an epilogue to see who things got on after all the "main action" died down. For a romance Cam's character arrived well into the story, which meant the romance had to kind of go at warp speed. I did feel like a few things were left open-ended such as where are they going live? How will Eden be able to pay her bills?

The scenery was definitely captured well and I could see the scenes playing out in my head.

This is such a heart warming book! And while there are a few sad moments in the book, it really is a feel good book. I enjoyed getting to know Eden and her past. I felt so badly about the way that she thought about herself; how she felt that her mother’s death was her fault. It was so easy to want to reach into the book to give her a hug. Never for a second did I see Eden the way that she saw herself, or even the way that her sister described her to be.

The townspeople of Seaglass Bay were welcoming and friendly; it made me want to go to the town be befriend these people! It really was the perfect cast of characters and the perfect setting. A town with which Eden had some familiarity, hoping to work on herself and grow as a person. A town in which she has some happy memories of her mother.

The romance between Cam and Eden was cute. I do wish Cam was introduced a little earlier in the book so that the relationship was built up a little bit more. They may have worked together, but like they said, they didn’t really know each other. I wish we could have seen more of them getting to know each other. However, I enjoy their interactions and think they are a great couple.

This book really just feels like a warm hug on a cool day.
