I've got an Amazon voucher and fancy getting one of his books. Can anyone recommend one? - there's a few to choose from.

I'd quite like one which has some of his cake recipes in, as I've tried a few of his from the internet and they've always been great.

TIA

don't know about cakes but appetite is his best all-rounder.

the kitchen diaries would be a very good start too.

"Appetite" is a brilliant. Please get it.

I second "Appetite". Also "Real Food" is a favourite of DH's.

Not cake books but Real fast food and 30 minute meals are REALLY useful books. I have loads of his books and in my eyes he can do no wrong

There's an awesome ginger cake in Kitchen Diaries. Only cake i've tried baking from it, and it worked perfectly first time!

Kitchen Diaries is sounding very tempting all of a sudden AllTheYoungDudes - I'm a big fan of ginger cake.

I've got a peach and blueberry cake online recipe of his, and it's the most delicious cake ever.

kitchen diaries is the best cook book i have. also the poncyness makes me roar

TaffetaCat · 08/04/2011 21:00

Appetite is great but has hardly any cakes in. The books of his I have that have the most cakes in are Kitchen Diaries ( which is indeed poncetastic ) and Tender Vol 2.

Anybody read Toast? It is great, see where the poncyness was formed! Also can anyone remember when he and Nigella used to be on the telly together--that was quite something!

I've read Toast piebald - it's great, - and you are right about the embryonic poncyness.

TaffetaCat · 08/04/2011 21:23

Kurri - if you're after a really great cake book, this is hard to beat

Taffeta - I bought that for my DD for Christmas Smile it is great, she's used it a lot because she loves baking, but she's at uni. so I haven't had a chance for a good read of it yet. (She's home tomorrow for the hols. bringing a cake she's made - if her housemates don't scoff it all Grin)
