Originally published in 1932. This little book contains something for everyone desiring to excel in home baking. There are a variety of novelties for experienced folk, but there is also definite instruction in the preliminaries of Cake Making, and recipes of the simple economical variety with which a novice may make a succesful trial trip. It is a great temptation, on seeing an interesting recipe, to plunge into the making without due forethought, and I would urge the inexperienced to note the Success Secrets, and to read the chapter on Modern Cake Making thoroughly before beginning work. All the recipes have been testes (and eaten!) many times and are in constant use in teaching Cookery Students. Contents include: Concerning Cakes - Preparation - Making - Baking - Icing - Varieties of Cakes, Pastries, Pastry Making - Cake, Old and New - Cakes of Some English Counties - Scotch and Irish Cakes - French Cakes - Canadian and American Cakes.

Cooking for one or two people isn't as simple as cutting recipes in half or quarters and here, seasoned author Joanna Pruess tackles the measurements, to create delicious and healthy soups without waste or leftovers. She reveals how to use ingredients completely and provides shortcuts to getting just the right amounts of meat and vegetables. Organised by type rather than ingredient, with chapters on creamy soups, tomato-based soups, meal soups and so on, Soup for Two offers more than 85 recipes, ranging from 15-Minute Corn and Shrimp Chowder to Kale, Chickpea and Coconut Soup to Rainy Day Tomato Bisque with Mini Grilled Cheese Bites and Madras Red Lentil Soup. If you love making soup but aren't feeding a crowd-with great recipes and mouthwatering photography-Soup For Two is just for you.

There are lots of ways to start a story, but this one begins with a chicken.

When the world becomes overwhelming, Ella Risbridger focuses on the little things that bring her joy, like enjoying a glass of wine when cooking, FaceTiming with a friend whilst making bagels, and sharing recipes that are good for the soul. One night she found herself lying on her kitchen floor, wondering if she would ever get up - and it was the thought of a chicken, of roasting it, and of eating it, that got her to her feet and made her want to be alive.

Midnight Chicken is a cookbook. Or, at least, you'll flick through these pages and find recipes so inviting that you will head straight for the kitchen: roast garlic and tomato soup, uplifting chilli-lemon spaghetti, charred leek lasagne, squash skillet pie, spicy fish finger sandwiches and burnt-butter brownies. It's the kind of cooking you can do a little bit drunk, that is probably better if you've got a bottle of wine open and a hunk of bread to mop up the sauce. But if you settle down and read it with a cup of tea (or a glass of that wine), you'll also discover that it's an annotated list of things worth living for - a manifesto of moments worth living for. This is a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again.
