Open again!!!
The new roof looks fantastic.
In the three weeks that we were closed, inside, outside, upstairs and downstairs have been repainted or scrubbed, scraped and cleaned.
The Cook Book opened its doors to our tenth season on time, at 10.00 am on Monday 23rd January.
But first we had a party to thank everyone who had worked so hard – and our patient neighbours who had put up with the roof tent flogging in anything above a Force 3 zephyr. In a good gale it sounded like topsails being double reefed in a Spanish Galleon in the Channel Chops; at least, it did until it finally split, blew out and was cut away in a full gale of wind at the beginning of December.

Cape Cornwall Street Christmas Fair
The brain child of our neighbours in the new and brilliant St Just Art and Crafts Gallery next door to the Cook Book, we look forward to welcoming you to our first Christmas Fair with a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie. In The Cook Book we’ll have a number of stalls offering beautiful work by Bosorne Leatherwork, Helen Jay Pottery, Evocative Cornwall and others, as well as genuine book bargains and Julie Chapple’s scrumptious mini Christmas cakes and rum truffles. Tea, coffee and cakes will also be on sale.

This Summer
A mixed bag of weather, with some brilliant days and others with cloud as thick as a bag and down to about 200 feet, which isn’t so good for people on holiday – St Just is over 300 feet above sea level. But it’s great for cafe-bookshops, so is rain and we’ve had several damp and dreary days outside, while inside there’s been a terrific atmosphere.
