This review is from: Piece of Cake (Hardcover)

I have been baking from this book for two years now and have tried out many recipes including Coconut & Liqueur Macaroons, Sticky Chocolate Cake, Lavender Cookies, Raspberry Muffins & Brownies. The recipes are simple to bake, the combination of flavours and ingredients a winner. Each section starts with a base recipe for eg Basic Scone. Then it has around 8 to 9 variations to that, each described in detail with photographs for eg Raisin Scones, Spice Scones etc. Same with the section on brownies, cheesecakes, sponge, biscuits etc. There are many interesting recipes that you won't find in other cookbooks and baking them is always such a joy!
