By 'traditional' I assume that the recipes are the traditional desserts in Britain... considering that the book was published there. The writers, Ann Nicol and Hilaire Walden particularly, have written numerous cookbooks other than this. Couldn't find their complete biographies online.
What I love about this book is the striking photos and the black-and-white instructional illustrations on the sides of the pages. They are extremely helpful to provide clearer understanding of the written recipes and directions. A chapter on the basics of baking cakes and desserts covers the secrets and guides to better baking may be handy as well.
Other chapters include :
sponge and light cakes
chocolate cakes
spicy cakes
little cakes
rich and light fruit cakes
nutty cakes
microwave baking
yeast baking
icings and fillings
cake decoration
hot baked puddings
steamed puddings
fried and other puddings
pastries
cold puddings
sauces
Apparently, you will get to learn about baking a cake and decorating it using a number of mediums presented. I consider the sections on yeast baking and pastries a bonus as both are neither cakes nor puddings. Price: RM99.95 (hardcover)
