Lovely book
Posted 1 year 4 months ago by Tess
Bought this in the half price book sale as I wanted to try baking something other that cakes. Delivery was much quicker than expected and the book is brilliant. Lovely recipes with easy to follow instructions. In reflection I would have happily paid the full price.
