Linda Collister is one of the most respected baking writers, having produced excellent books such as The Baking Book and The Bread Book. A new quartet of titles by her, in the super-stylish series of small cookery books from Ryland, Peters and Small, shows much of her expertise and attention to detail.
The titles are: Cookies & Biscuits, Sweet Pies And Tarts, Flavoured Breads and Chocolate Baking. All four are handsome and practical, with droolsome photography by Patrice de Villiers. Anyone who loves floury hands and the happy scent of yeast and sweet things shouldn't be without them.
Cookies & Biscuits, Sweet Pies & Tarts, Flavoured Breads and Chocolate Baking are published by Ryland, Peters and Small at £7.99 each in the UK
