Geraldene HoltReseñas

Written after running a cake stall on Tiverton market in Devon, this is an accurate and comprehensive baking book. There are so many glossy baking books around now but a couple of these older, plainer, volumes should have a place on any serious baking shefl. Mrs Holt has gone on to write about her home in France and, more particularly, her herb garden there - see Diary of a French Herb Garden and Recipes from a French Herb Garden.

Chapters on the vegetable gardens of stately and historic homes in England, with recipes.
