This recipe book is based around ingredients that would have been found in a 1900s kitchen store cupboard. The 1900s were an era when people relied on staple ingredients supplemented by seasonal produce. Baking was a weekly activity and ensuring that all food was used up without any waste was important.
The book contains recipes for whole cakes, small cakes, pastry cakes and biscuits. The selection includes several UK regional delicacies as well as more universal favourites such as the Victorian Sponge
