The good thing about regular crossword solving is that, given any puzzle at random by a non-cruciverbalist, you would expect to be able to prove your worth by casually solving one or two clues at a first glance. Every now and again though, a puzzle comes along which makes you wonder if all the years of solving have taught you anything. This was one of those puzzles!

This continues the series of Gurney puzzles that I have found enjoyable, not too tough. All nicely clued, with some clever surfaces. Thanks Gurney. Definitions are underlined in the clues. Hidden connection in one of the picture sets.

This is a complete and balanced and absolutely delicious meal from a consummate chef, if you will pardon the culinary parallel … a mini-theme, intriguing linkages between answers, some lovely cryptic definitions, some uncommon words (but clued fairly and simply to compensate) and some tichy devices. I found this puzzle challenging but extremely entertaining. Thank you, Don
