Lotte Duncan has two very good reasons to celebrate these coming weeks. Not only due to the arrival of the second printing of her wonderful debut book, Lotte’s Country Kitchen, but she will also be cracking open the champagne at the opening of her very own kitchen diner: Lotte’s Kitchen, no less!

Lotte’s Kitchen will be opening at 10am on Saturday 30th April. For those of you who follow her blog or Twitter feed (@lotteduncan and @LottesKitchen), you’ll be aware of just what a hugely exciting dream this has been for Lotte to fulfil. The Kitchen promises to be serving exactly the kind of food that has been winning her book so many kind words and reviews. We really do wish Lotte and the Kitchen every success.

* Lotte’s Kitchen can be found at 2 Keens Lane, Chinnor in Oxfordshire, OX39 4PF. Telephone 01844 355985.

* Lotte’s Country Kitchen will be available again from May 16th.
