Everyone dreams of a home in which the smells of baking are part of everyday life. Warm bread at breakfast, homemade Florentines for tea, Treacle Tart for supper and Walnut Bread with cheese are the kind of treats that make for happy occasions with family and friends. Sue Lawrence is often called the 'Queen of Baking' and her passion for the subject, and her knowledge of Scottish cookery, are legendary. In her new book, she includes easy recipes for the new and now - such as Ciabatta and Ricotta Citrus Cake - and caters for every kind of cook, be they an Aga-lover or a bread-machine devotee.

Review:

The recipes are comprehensive but extremely user friendly and they work! Chose something that fits into your timeframe and lifestyle and experience the peace of mind and body that comes with the wafting aromas of the freshly baked... The book's design makes it look 'homely', exactly the right feel for the recipes inside. The photography is honest, simple and informative and the content is pure Sue Lawrence. Another winner!
