INTRODUCTION (#ulink_f46ec113-a73f-5d95-9a5d-9f10d349c424)
Baking has always been one of my greatest joys. I have such happy memories of my sister and I when we were little, standing on kitchen chairs so that we could help Mum make biscuits or buns for the family. Even today, the wonderful, warm aromas of baking bread, cakes or cookies always transport me back to these times.
Baking makes you stop and really enjoy your time in the kitchen. Of course, there is a lot more to baking than just cakes and cookies, it’s a versatile and very homely method of cooking, whether you’re baking a fresh loaf of bread or just a simple jacket potato. It’s warming, comforting and nurturing, and fills the house with such welcoming smells.
Giving something that you have baked to someone you love is real generosity—whether it be a delicious pie for friends on a cold winter’s evening or a special cake for a birthday.
There is no mystery to baking; baking is a simple science, which is precisely why it is so satisfying. Your friends may think you’re a genius if you present them with a beautiful cake, but it’s really just the right ingredients in the right quantities!
I have chosen my favourite baking recipes in this collection to give you a wide range of delicious treats and meals that can be baked in your oven. I hope these become part of your everyday life. There are also many special recipes for those once-in-a-while occasions and celebrations. If you can master a set of weighing scales, then you have all the skills you need to bake…so what are you waiting for? Get that pinny on and start baking!

PS The oven temperatures in this book are for a conventional oven, but if I am using a fan oven, then I usually reduce the temperature by 10 per cent.
