The latest tempting title from the world-famous TV chef Mary Berry is full of mouth-watering and tasty recipes for cakes, desserts and puddings. As well as her role in cookery programmes on television, Berry is considered one of the top authorities on all things baking. She has over 40 books to her credit, including “Simple Cakes” and “Cook Now, Eat Later: Be One Step Ahead with Over 130 Delicious Recipes to Prepare in Advance”.  The UK newspapers have often been in praise of her recipes and The Times once referred to here as a “cookery writing pioneer”.

Across the 400 pages of this book there is an astonishing 250 recipes that are explained in Berry’s easy to follow writing style, and are laid out in such a way that any beginner baker will be able to tackle any recipe. Of course, there is a vast variety of different recipes in the book, from the classics such as Victorian sponge and chocolate cake to more challenging desserts like hazelnut meringue and bread and butter pudding.

“Mary Berry’s Baking Bible” is also filled with stunning glossy photographs of all the delicious recipes, which are a sure-fire way to tempt you into the kitchen. However, if you already have some of Berry’s previous titles on your book shelf, it will be worth knowing that the Bible does repeat some earlier recipes. But if what you are after is the ultimate compendium of her creations, this will be the right book for you.
