Donna Hay's second Modern Classics volume turns to the baking tins and sweet favourites that many home cooks grew up with. Familiar recipes such as trifle, lamingtons and vanilla slice are reworked with fresh flavours and updated methods, while newer treats such as biscotti, muffins and grilled fruit with sugar take their place alongside them. The book is arranged as a practical reference for everyday cooking, suited to beginners as well as experienced bakers who want dependable results. It sits alongside the first volume as a collection meant to serve a new generation of home cooks.
