I have had this book over ten years, have shared it over 6 times and recommend it for purchase more times. This is one of those no fuss , no complicated ingredients, perfect cakes everything, great variety of cakes. This book helped establish my cake making days. I recommend it for basic skill, a great book to start making cakes with.

The only cakes and sweet bakes cookbook you will ever need. Fabulous and fool proof. Perfect results every time no matter which recipe you try.

In my opinion this is the best cookbook ever written. My original one is so ruined from its use that when I spied another newish copy in the second hand shop, I got that one too. Normally i only make a few recipes from each cookbook but I've cooked from this one nearly 100 times in just 5 or so years since I started cooking when I was 12. I will continue to bake lots of cakes and slices from it. Recipes are simple enough, pretty much always reliable and are very unique. Absolute Favorites would be the choc orange cake which has been made around 13 times and the choc apricot cake although I love most of the recipes.

This is probably the most random cookbook in my collection. It basically contains recipes of cakes and bakes from the 70s... Now, usually I'm not a fan of vintage recipes, but this book is AMAZING. Whenever I crave something: simple, delicious, with non-exotic ingredients, and goes well with a cup of tea (for myself only)... this is the book I reach for. Everything I've made from it has been simple and to my taste.
