    Barbara Pym’s sister Hilary teams with cookbook author Honor Wyatt to bring together this mouthwatering collection of family recipes, memories, and anecdotes drawn from Pym’s diaries and letters, as well her most acclaimed novels Straight from the kitchen of Barbara Pym, this winning cookbook delivers a delectable treat for readers who like their meals served with a generous helping of literary aplomb. Sharing favorite family recipes that Pym incorporated into her novels, The Barbara Pym Cookbook reveals how the author’s life intersected with those of her memorable characters. Inside you’ll find British classics such as steak and kidney pie, plum cake, sausage rolls, and toad-in-the-hole—dishes that Pym’s characters would often prepare for each other. Other treats, such as moussaka and risotto, reflect Pym’s fascination with Greece and Italy. Throughout, the recipes are interwoven with references to Pym’s novels; Dulcie’s musings on “love apples” from No Fond Return of Love accompany directions for tomatoes à la Provençale, for instance. There are glimpses of Pym’s personal life, too, such as her description of kipper pâté for lunch with Philip Larkin. The Barbara Pym Cookbook is a must-have for both budding cooks and Pym aficionados.

    This book took a holistic view of the training of a puppy. We began by discussing the idea of what is a pet and explored the possibility of having a puppy as a pet. Before moving ahead with this idea, few essentials were also mentioned for the readers and prospective puppy owners. 
    Then came the stage of discussing essential aspects of training the puppy such as 
    •LEASH TRAINING 
    •CRATE TRAINING 
    •CLICKER TRAINING 
    •POTTY TRAINING 
    •MAKING PUPPY PART OF THE FAMILY 
    •THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIALIZATION FOR DOGS 
    •TACKLING AGGRESSIVE DOGS 
    •OBEDIENCE COMMANDS 
    •HOW TO ELIMINATE DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR 
    •UNDERSTANDING THEIR PSYCHOLOGY 
    •UNDERSTANDING THEIR PHYSIOLOGY 
    This was a detailed discussion then culminated into the golden seven steps that are the take way of this book. 
    •BRINING YOUR PUPPY HOME 
    •CRATE TRAINING 
    •POTTY TRAINING 
    •PREVENTING FOOD AGGRESSION 
    •SOCIALIZING YOUR PUPPY 
    •KEY COMMANDS OF TRAINING 
    •LEASH TRAINING AND COMING 
    Some general tips regarding health, grooming, and nutrition were mentioned in brief at the end that will help the owner or trainer troubleshoot the problem. 
    But in the end it must be stated with utmost of honesty and diligence that while this book is an earnest effort on my part to help you train your puppy to the fullest, we must bear in mind that like humans the cute little guys known as the puppies also have feelings and we must consider compassion, care, and love as the foremost guiding principles. Because like the breeds of the dogs that vary, the behavior and tendencies to react to situations also vary with every dog. Every dog has a different personality and psyche and cannot be treated alike. While these are standard ways and means to train your puppy, there is a need to apply prudence, logic, and care. There is definitely a method to this madness. 
    While the aim is to help you train your puppy, the hidden intent is that you can foster a lasting bond with your pet that can withstand tough times, sickness, and health.
