Lot #176: How to be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking (2000) by Nigella Lawson

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. Softcover book. Measurements: Approximately 9.5 x 7.5 inches. Pickup category timeslot {A}
