An intriguing mix of family favourites, special occasion treats, easy iced desserts, chocolate delights and cakes given a contemporary twist, all tried-and-true and thoroughly tested as you would expect from this author who prides herself on fail-proof recipes. This irresistible content, photographed expertly by award-winning photographer Aaron McLean, forms the backbone of the book, but all new Cooking Classes with step-by-step photography featuring cooking and baking techniques and How-to's feature in every chapter. There is also an extensive Glossary and a useful Tips section, ensuring the book is packed with helpful information and guidance for any home cook eager to improve their culinary skills while adding to their recipe repertoire.
