Please ignore my last posts !
Have now completed the puzzle.

Can someone confirm that 15d /14a = a great liking for certain food

@jazzgirl wrt 15/14 -- yes.

Thanks gabrielc
Due to lack of a printer, I had to draw the grid and made a few errors in placing the bolds, so a bit of a mess occurred !

@gabrielc
The trio was my last one in (unless there is one I have missed)
I have 21a/24a/39d

Thanks a lot buddy. Easy when you know how 😉

I think Doc gets an unfair press myself. His puzzles do tend to be at the easier end of the Speccietrum but they surely give inexperienced cruciverbalists a useful entry into the art form rather than being put off by the more arcane setters. We all had to start somewhere.

The_Bard, my disappointment with Doc is mainly because he used to be a clever, inventive setter! He later passed through the Brewer's years and that got tedious His puzzles may tempt new solvers, but I think it's reasonable for older hands to feel a bit let-down with some of the recent offerings.

I apologise for my earlier slip-up, having drawn the grid and had bolds in the wrong places.
I enjoyed this despite it taking rather too long to get to fhe final stage. I like Doc from earlier puzzles

No apology required jazzgirl. Glad you enjoyed it and like Doc too.
