Georgina Brown The Lexicon of British Baking: Cakes Paperback Book

While all baking cookbooks offer a selection of repeated cake recipes The Lexicon of British Baking reduces many of them to single recipes with variations. This open theme manages to fit in a wider selection of great British cakes and as a lexicon, is built around words associated with most types of bakes from sponges, rich Madeiras and fruit cakes to more trendy friands, madeleines and cupcakes. There is a host of wholesome and delicious cakes such as lemon drizzle and Dundee. The book can be seen as a baking organiser or a baking notebook. Readers can familiarise themselves with baking recipes and further bakes from the seasonal or European sections. With over two hundred tested recipes, this book also carries a techniques index, an icing table and many practical tips. The guide to cake decorating and creating cake icings is an essential tool in matching basic icings and cake frostings with different cakes. Try vintage ideas from the Continent, such as 7 layer cakes. The Lexicon of British Baking stands as a textbook book for beginners and ensures most basic to intermediate skills are covered. This is a special bakingbook gift, a first baking book for teenagers or simply a goto baking cookbook for anyone wanting to bring out the best in their baking. | Georgina Brown The Lexicon of British Baking: Cakes Paperback Book
