As with most of the Australian Women's Weekly cookbooks there are photos to go with each recipe, and thankfully in this book the quantities of ingredients are given in both cups and grams! I have found there to be a little overlap with a couple of the other books, but not a lot. Really looking forward to trying the pineapple malibu cake on the front.

Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Sarah.
