Prue Leith at PG Live card show

Cookshops that stock greeting cards will be visiting this week’s dedicated greeting card show, PG Live this week (Tuesday June 4 and Wednesday June 5, London Business Design Centre). Celebrity attendees will include culinary guru, Prue Leith (with her husband, John Playfair on the Ling Design stand late morning, Tuesday June 4).

Prue will launch her new greeting card collection publisher from Ling Design that is sure to be a hit with ‘foodies’.

The new licensed card range has been produced in collaboration with Prue and her great friend, the artist David Hawson. The greeting cards feature David’s vibrant watercolour art of favourite foodie ingredients to illustrate their shared passion for food and colour. For each one Prue has created a unique corresponding recipe which features on the back of the card.

As Prue Leith, the beloved judge of the Great British Bake Off TV series and longtime culinary celebrity, explained: “David and I have been friends for years and so it has been a huge pleasure to work together. He is tremendously talented and I adore the way he has celebrated the colour and vitality of these wonderful ingredients with his paintbrush.”

David’s work also appears in the recently published cookery book, entitled ‘Prue, My all time favourite recipes’, her first for 25 years and a signed copy of the cookery book will be won through a prize draw on the Ling stand at the show.
