Product Description

Product Description

Mary Berry has a long-established reputation for providing the home cook with easy-to-follow, reliable 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 making all kinds of cakes, biscuits and pastries.

All 40 of Mary's 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.

About the Author

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.

"Mary Berry, cookery writing pioneer" - The Times

Format:Paperback
Mary Berrys cook books are great.This one is a good book but I would recommend buying Ultimate cake book by Mary Berry instead.Nearly every single recepie was duplicated. This book has much less in it and Ultimate is far better with the same and many more cake recepies.I would say buy that one instead-it is a much bigger and better book on cakes.

Makes baking easy 6 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
A lovely book if you want to learn to bake some great cakes. Every recipe I have tried has worked first time. I think this book is better than the larger version, as Mary Berry has selected a nice range of her easier baking recipes for people who want great results without a lot of previous cooking experience. The lemon tray bake is my favourite!

Yummy book 25 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
I've only made two cakes from the book so far but, they both turned out scrummy. Lovely pictures and clear instructions. There is a great section which explains cake tin dimensions and gives basic baking instructions. I can't wait to make more cakes from this book!
