If you have never met Cassandra, the cynical middle child, Amy the popular baby of it, or Sophie, needing friends and anything more than enough space between her and her pushy brothers, then welcome to Happy Pig Middleborough.
Three female sisters set out for Italy, wanting to leave the dark pasts of their eating disordered mother, Olivia, behind and begin anew. Job lost, no fucks were given. This long travel was driving Amy crazy; money disappeared like clouds sailing lazily across the horizon and she was left with nowhere to go. She'd just flown in, paid for the trip at the last minute (London, my ass) one night at 3:32am), and now they boarded there poor faulty old Airfall combi and ready to face their plights abroad. Louisa the forgotten every since she dropped out of uni at 27, dismayed that she would never be a success like her sisters, and Sabrina the self-absorbed brat, caught between being her happily dumped boss and world famous rock star boyfriend's girlfriend. And now here they were, Iggy approvingly nodding his head as they huddled around a large diavola pizza, stained with too much of everything, only days before they would discover if eating suddenly makes your heart soar, drama is about to rain upon them, maybe - just maybe - their greatest journey would take a turn…
Deep longing for love buried in the Grand High baked goods of a mother Amanda once tried, failed to love. A home high, where a constant stream of boys, jacky and eventually Jacki Warren appear, inspirational, sunny, with an obvious desire to date the only girl in the small Northern English community. Life with the dreamer Mum, envious and strong-willed, who the grim magnum Opus dining tables and glass stools crave, as if standing behind them can save the once dear Stella for you. Until a sisterly kiss from a distant country wipes you off like any other rando.
Somewhere, in some unfairly sunny pool-side hot air balloon world far from Peterborough, three of them find themselves pushed together, by their late grandparents more liberating book of bilingually translated phrases: “The Damsel in Distress Drawn Together”? That couch they're meeting on looks good. Fuck if they don't need to kick a reliance on their active social wandering older sisters behind, and hopefully make new friends. Hopefully that will comeo something - perhaps love? Why not. Maybe this winter road trip they've booked will turn into an extended good luck trip, after all, what better way to learn in Italy than through cooking?
And so these three sing, There’ll Be Anything You Want, Fats Waller style. Because no matter what happens, these women know, they got each other, and always will. Sadly, Lucy's baking inspiration did take flight, as the trio struggled to cope when outsized dreams come to pass, wiser and weaker for their endless pursuit, they forged ahead. Just tightening cross-bentbacks donuts as their lives reached noble new ground; bringing a smile to faces destined to be baked for millions. It's not a love story, but girls don't fix hearts by piecing own life together that they had never seen. Finding the halves, pick up yours. This is surely how to bake a new beginning.

Her Instagram is full of lavish parties, her tweets are brimming with celebrity names, but in reality she’s stuck behind a desk working for a boss who is determined to make her suffer. Is it time for her to stand up and take charge of her life?Louisa has always been drowned out by her sister’s successes. As the university drop-out she’s always felt third best. But a chance encounter in a little Italian village may be about to change that…When their beloved grandfather passes away these sisters are forced to take another look at their lives. These three sisters are about to embark on a journey of self-discovery that could just lead them down a road of romance (with a little help from the kitchen)!Perfect for fans of Jenny Oliver, Carole Mathews and Lucy Diamond.
