Baking type books please

HTBADG is a fantastic book, it really is. If you haven't got it, you neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it.

Indeed - HTBADG is all i can recommend. I don't have any others, and haven;t really needed any, though i do get a lot of recipes from my mum, that aren't in any books i know of.

Excellent. Does it have savoury baking in there too, or just cakes?

Definitely HTBADG. To give you an idea, I've been making a recipe file with all the recipes I fancy from all my book. This is what I would make from the 'cakes and baking' part of HTBADG... (It's the most I got out of any of my books)

I got the book for £3 in a bargain books type place.

PS, I do realise Ihave exposed myself as a complete obsessive compulsive. ?

Do, you won't regret it!

? The list? No, that was over three weeks this summer, to give me a challenge. I have 35 pages (size 10 font too so loads crammed in) of excel printed out. It's bloomin' handy though as I can just look at the relevant section then go straight to a page of a recipe book which has something I fancy.
