  This is a selection of tried-and-tested recipes, with illustrations and photographs. It contains easy recipes which are simple to follow, economical to cook and within the reach of experienced and novice cooks alike. Chapters include recipes for snacks, cocktail nibbles, light meals and cakes, as well as breads, biscuits and desserts. There are also classics, including quiches, pies and pastries, pizzas, savoury and sweet breads, fruit cakes and strudels, petit fours, lamingtons and brownies, as well as more unusual puddings and tarts. A section on baking for children offers recipes for young bakers of all ages to make themselves while other chapters provide for teatime treats and other special occasions. There is also a reference section which outlines the equipment needed, the types of flour and other ingredients used, and special techniques such as how to bake blind or in a microwave.
