Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Judy Dyble's terrible recipes, created for family, friends and Facebook followers since 2018. 

 

As the first vocalist for Fairport Convention, the woman who brought King Crimson together and the knitter of string scarves while watching Jimi Hendrix play the legendary UFO club, Judy’s sense of silliness permeated her music and her personal life. Now the cobwebbed crockery, detonated dinners and escapee ingredients that she conjured up are yours to enjoy in 33 hilarious takes, beautifully illustrated by Oxfordshire artist Louise Regan.

 

A4 softback, 84 full colour pages. Comes with an exclusive postcard.

 

Posthumously collated by the Dyble family, this is Judy’s first ever book. It includes recipes invented for friends and family based on their most-disliked foodstuffs, including concoctions for Steve Hackett and his wife Jo, Big Big Train frontman David Longdon, collaborator The Curator, authors/music journalists Peter Paphides, David Quantick and Mike Barnes.

 

Endorsed by Judy’s long-time friend and King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, this first edition is extremely limited, with only 200 copies being produced.

“Judy was so warm-hearted and open-spirited. This book of recipes shows the fabulous sense of humour she had too.” - Steve & Jo Hackett

 

“How could the gentle, true spirit of Judy de la Bédoyére be responsible for these poisonous concoctions?” - Robert Fripp
