How to be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking

by Nigella Lawson

Knopf Canada | October 28, 2003 | Trade Paperback

Now in paperback: the gorgeous, bestselling modern classic puts baking back on the agenda, and makes it simple and alluring for today's cook.

How to be a Domestic Goddess is not about being a goddess, but about feeling like one. What this deliciously reassuring and mouthwatering cookbook demonstrates is that it's not hard to bake a tray of muffins or a sponge layer cake -- but the rewards they bring are disproportionately high.

Here is the book that feeds our fantasies, understands our anxieties and puts cakes, pies, pastries, preserves, puddings, bread and biscuits right back into our kitchens and our lives. There's everything from cupcakes to chocolate cakes; from brownies to bagels; from gooseberry-cream crumble to double apple pie; from pizza to pistachio macaroons; scones and muffins; cheesecakes and steamed syrup sponge; from baklava to a Barbie cake; as well as children's cooking, Christmas baking and other wonderful family festive treats -- all illustrated with ravishing photographs throughout.

    This cookbook is a wonderful addition to the collection of a beginner or a top chef. The foods in the book range from the basics to revolutionary. My favourite recipe is the Buttermilk Birthday Cake. The product is honestly the birthday cake that you have always imagined. Its so fluffy and the icing is even fluffier - like a dream. Enjoy!
