Review
Who can resist a chocolate cookie or nutty brownie? And when its homemade it seems to taste so much better and become that much more moreish... This beautifully presented book on cookies, biscuits, bars and brownies will have you rushing to the kitchen to get baking, the tantalising photographs almost smelling of home-baking they are so luscious. Try citrus drops or apple and elderflower stars, cappuccino swirls or date slices, no-bake pink piggies and nutty marshmallow and chocolate squares. The range is enormous and open to interpretation covering children's treats, special diet biscuits, savoury crackers and special occasion nibbles. A perfect gift for a cookie lover or even yourself with hours of baking to be had and shared with others. You'll soon become the number 1 tea destination with this! - Lucy Watson
