Here is something delicious: Jane Brocket's adorable Vintage Cakes. I'm just getting started and there's so much deliciousness ahead: cherry cakes, orange cream cakes, sponges . . . .
It's beautifully styled with vintage linens, but not quite meticulously edited, sorry to say (this surprises me, as Jane Brocket strikes me as a very careful writer). However, it's nothing I can't overlook in my enjoyment of this charming cookbook.
Ill have to check that out! That definetly looks like my kind of book! I love the linens,and tea settings! Please let us know how some turn out!

I own it, but haven't used it yet - I've been in pie and cookie mode.

I love her books and I just bought her Turkish Delights & Treasure Hunts for my daughter, who enjoys English children's literature with her kids.
ReplyDeleteI do remember the same issues in The Gentle Art of Domesticity. They were not converted from the metric correctly in the first edition and my copy came with a print out of corrections.
This looks scrumptious! Will this be a tour as in The Cake Lady? I will see if my library carries it.
ReplyDeleteFarrah, I was trying to resist the urge to bake my way through it, but cakes one and two were really good . . .
