Description
Naughty but nice! A celebration of Plymouth-based British artist Beryl Cook’s (1926-2008) curvaceous art now combined, deliciously, with recipes for 30 simple-but-tasty cakes. Republished to mark the centenary of Cook’s birth, this joyful book includes 30 colour illustrations reproducing her character-filled portraits of British life in all its eccentric glory, from ‘Ladies’ Tennis’ and ‘Rhubarb’, to ‘Sally Ann Cha Cha Cha’, and ‘Tea in the Garden’. With buxom bosoms and bottoms aplenty, enjoy the humour and pathos of Cook’s paintings while savouring indulgent instructions to make everything from classic Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle and Black Forest Cupcakes; to Saucy Scones, maple syrup and bacon cupcakes and a selection of tasty tarts. Simple step-by-step instructions and measures given in metric and imperial quantities. Full of Beryl Cook’s warm, original style: baking has never been more fun!
