A classic British cook with classic recipes and a no-nonsense approach. I grew up watching Delia and she remains my favourite TV Cook, mostly due to her baking expertise. I love this collection of cake and biscuit recipes, organised into sections such as muffins; small cakes and biscuits. If you like good old fashioned baking with a few modern twists you’ll love this.

This was the first book I ever baked from. If you need a classic cake/baking recipe that works then this is the book. Includes everything from Rock Cakes to a fully iced and decorated Wedding Cake.
