My most favourite baking book of the year!!!
Too many wondrous recipes for all seasons with a rustique, beautiful, understated elegance. Cupcakes and meringes shaped into decorative wreaths, mini cheesecakes that look the cupcakes.
Highly recommended!

A beautiful book with every recipe having a full-page photo--a feast for the eyes as well as the taste-buds. Recipes are arranged by season (of course) and are mostly sweet, but with some savory. Most of the recipes seem quite doable for the average cook, although if you live in the US, you will need to convert measurements from metric, and either purchase British ingredients such as golden caster sugar or use suitable American substitutes. I would gladly make every recipe in this book--of course, they are so beautiful because Evans-Fecci harvests & dries flowers from her extensive garden to decorate her creations--Anything I make will be minus the lovely decorations, but, hopefully, as tasty as they appear to be.
