Putting spin on a cookery book

I know it's summer, the so called silly session - there's not much to shout about either. Parliament is on recess and all the spin merchants are on hols too. Labour MP Tom Watson this morning had me in stitches laughing at his warped sense of humour.

How can you put a political spin on a cookery book, well he has.

I've said it before and I'll say it again Camden LibDems ladies, the Stork cookery services 'Art of Home Cooking' generation, always put on a delicious spread when it comes to social events. Louise Malin the editor of the book is one of them.

It's hard to resist all the mouth watering home cooking - some of their deserts are truly scrumptious. Those on a diet beware.

Now they have collated recipes adding a fun element with additional contributions by some of the LibDems more famous names from the Lords, Commons, MEP's. MSP's, GLA and Welsh Assembly and published a book. Even Robin Young a Camden member has added his contribution as a wine connoisseur. Thought the project a brilliant idea - a good way to raise some cash as well. It's now advertised on their website - some libdem bloggers have also picked up on it.

The promotion says “Enjoy Charles Kennedy’s recipe for a breakfast smoothie. Discover the festive secret Lord Navnit Dholakia has not told his friends to this day. Read an old family recipe contributed by Lord Bill Rodgers, never before written down. Find out what Lembit Opik MP likes to nibble while watching Question Time”.

Go on buy it just for fun and see for yourself.

Later: Found another one joining in the fun. Wondering if any Tory posts about it will come out of the woodwork.

Later2: Whoops here's another. Might of guessed who'd start the Tory ball rolling.
