Last Piece

Is there anything more perfect than to be eating the last piece of cake while reading a book about cakes? - sublime even though my cruel husband is subjecting me to rugby on the TV - I forgive him as I was in a sensual world of my own.


While mooching around Chichester this morning I bought this


I had been looking at it every time I visited Waterstone's, and as I had some book tokens from Christmas I thought why not....
I do have a bit of a thing for old cookery books but I liked this as Julie Duff has found old recipes and tested them and given (hopefully) instructions that we can all relate to today. I plan to start to try a lot of them out over the next few weeks and will of course share with you my successes and failures along the way.

  1. That looks an interesting book, I love baking cakes myself. It's nice to have book tokens, but I always feel that money spent on books needs no justification!

    I might of known you'd be enjoying a bit of cake - oblivious to my job interview hell and toothache!!! Call yourself a neighbour/friend? PAH!!!
    I think the only way you can make amends is by baking me something with a high cocoa content or a large amount of cooked fruit!!
