101 cakes and bakes
BBC Books, $12.95 pp212 $14.95

Is it necessary to have 101 recipes for sweet snacks?

You betcha. There’s a treat for every occasion – and in-between occasions, ranging from muffins to slices to biscuits.

They range in healthiness, but look equally tasty.

And the book is a handy pocket size.
