Geraldene Holt's Cakes

by Geraldene Holt

The earliest version of this book (which was the cookery writer Geraldene Holt's first work) was the result of years of baking for the Women's Institute stall in a nearby Devon market town. A classic, most people's copies of Cakes have started to fall apart after thirty years of baking.

A new edition that took into account changes in taste and improvements in technique seemed to be called for. Prospect Books is honoured to have the chance to publish this reworking. This is not a picture-book with recipes, although there are some textual embellishments. Cakes don't really need pictures, they need reliable instructions, which are here in spades: from tray bakes to fruit cakes, to sponges and biscuits, teacakes to scones, little morsels to great big Christmas specials. Cakes remains the most reliable and intelligent of manuals. It is not too large, it is not too small. The recipes are laid out clearly and fall conveniently to the page (a more important matter than most people think).

Geraldene Holt has become one of Britain's best-loved cookery writers. Her books have been especially strong in the fields of baking, herbs and gardening; she draws on her experiences at her house in southern France as well as in middle England. Before she began writing, she was a potter. 304p, b/w illus. (Prospect Books 2011)
