How To Be A Domestic Goddess

Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking.

This book is not about being a goddess, but about feeling like one. What this deliciously reassuring and mouthwatering cookbook demonstrates is that it's not actually hard to bake a tray of muffins, or a sponge layer cake, but that the appreciation and satisfaction they bring are disproportionately high.

Here is the book which understands our anxieties, feeds our fantasies and puts cakes, pies, pastries, preserves, puddings, breads and biscuits back into our own kitchens. This is the art of baking and comfort cooking made simple and alluring for the modern cook - with everything from cup cakes to certosino, from brownies to bagels, from peach cream pie to pizza, chewy amaretti to blueberry boy-bait, from rhubarb tart to Barbie cake, not to mention children's cooking, festive foods and family treats.
