Book description
Mary Berry has a long-established reputation for providing the home
cook with reliable, easy recipes but, if there's one area where she is
the undisputed queen of the kitchen, it's cake-making. In Simple
Cakes, Mary guides you step-by-step through the art of baking all
kinds of cakes, biscuits and pastries.
All 40 of Mary's baking recipes, which range from a classic Tarte
Tatin to a sumptuous Sacher Torte, Lemon Drizzle Traybake and
Devonshire Scones, use readily available ingredients. The recipes are
accompanied by colour photographs at every stage to make this
notoriously tricky area of cooking even easier. With clear,
easy-to-follow methods, Mary Berry's fail-safe instructions guarantee
even the novice cook excellent results every time.
After training at the Paris Cordon Bleu, Mary Berry started her
career as cookery editor of Housewife and Ideal Home
magazines. She is well known for her many television appearances,
including the BBC1 series Mary's Berry's Ultimate Cakes and
Mary Berry at Home
. One of Britain's foremost cookery writers, she often appears
as a guest on Saturday Kitchen, and has written over 40
cookery books.
