Home-Made Cakes and Biscuits

What could be more useful than a short, unpretentious introduction to the art of cake-making? Starting with simple recipes, the reader is gradually introduced to a full range of cakes including those made with nuts, chocolate and fruit both fresh and dried. Unlike over-sweet cakes bought from shops, those made at home can be completely free of additives and colouring - and twice as tasty.

Home-Made Cakes and Biscuits contains recipes that will appeal to children as well as adults, cakes for special occasions and for every day. There are also clear, concise and practical recipes for pastries, biscuits, icing and fillings. With easy-to-follow recipes for such delights as Rich Chocolate Cake, Viennese Orange Cake, Nusstorte, Hazel Nut Macaroons and French Plum Cake, tea-time need never again be reduced to a packet of biscuits fast approaching its sell-by date.
