About the Author
Delia Smith is Britain's bestselling cookery writer, whose books have sold over 21 million copies worldwide. Delia's first job as a cookery writer was for the Daily Mirror in 1969 - numerous phenomenal best sellers and television series followed including Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course in 1978 and Delia's Christmas, Summer & Winter Collections in the 1990s. Towards the end of the decade Delia commenced work on a new major project - Delia's How to Cook, publishing three separate volumes and the accompanying tv series. The Vegetarian Collection and The Delia Collection followed. After a five year break concentrating on Norwich City Football Club (where she is a director) and Canary Catering, Delia returned triumphant in 2008 with a new BBC TV series and the fastest selling cookery book of all time 'Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking' - which has sold over 800,000 copies to date. Delia is married to the writer and editor, Michael Wynn Jones. They live in Suffolk.

I have most of Delia's book but this is the first book from "the Delia Collection" that I have read and used.
Firstly it is a beautiful book to look at. The cover, photography and very easy to follow recipes.
Secondly the recipes are stunning. Some of them I have baked before from her other books but just using this book is a pleasure so I use it for even familiar recipes. All of them have been well received.
Thirdly, even though the majority of the recipes are in previous books, it is a very handy to have the best of her baking recipes in one volume.

When I bought this book a few months ago I was a total novice cake chef; using Delia's fool proof recipes I have learnt how to make a variety of cakes and tray bakes. The recipes are laid out in a completely consistent fashion so you always know what temperature to preheat the oven to and what size tin you need to prepare at a quick glance; and Delia is very good at giving excellent hints and tips on the way through - how to measure out treacle without needing a full body wash for instance! There is at least one picture of every cake, so you know what you're aiming for; I've cooked most of them and have yet to find a single recipe in this book which isn't well received. Whether you're a beginner looking for guidance or a seasoned pro looking for some exciting ideas to broaden your repertoire, I would recommend this beautiful bargain book to you!

My book shelves are now groaning with Delia's books, but I am delighted to have this one. Such good cakes - and whenever I make one of the recipes there is never so much as a crumb left over! The recipes never fail but, then, Delia does indeed know her stuff. An excellent read too.
