In the Book of Baking Sue Lawrence not only caters for avid fans of baking but for the novice as well. From Agas to conventional ovens, she covers it all with a range of chapters from breads and savoury pies, pasties and tarts to both traditional and modern cakes, quick bakes, healthy alternatives and festive baking.
For the modern cook there are international dishes from countries as far flung as Russia (with their Anchovy Pirozhkis), Argentina (delicious shortbread and toffee sandwiches or Alfajores) right through to Chile (with their cheese empanadas).
Of course, Sue’s books would be incomplete without their distinctive Scottish dishes and this one’s no different as Sue tempts us with traditional delights such as Forar and Cullen Skink bridies, shortbread and tattie scones, Dundee cake and even haggis bread to name but a few.
Sue Lawrence’s Book of Baking will inspire you to fill your home with the rich smell of baking and provide the perfect excuse to invite all your friends and family round for afternoon tea and lots and lots of cake.
Sue Lawrence’s Book of Baking is published by Headline, and is priced at £14.99
