How To Be A Domestic Goddess

Discover the classic book of beloved baking recipes from bestseller Nigella Lawson, now a judge on the Great British Bake Off!

‘This is what baking is about: feeling good, wafting along in the warm, sweet-smelling air, unwinding … that's exactly what I mean when I talk about “comfort cooking”.’

The warm and witty baking bible by Nigella Lawson, ‘Queen of the Kitchen’ (Observer), this is the book that helped the world rediscover the joys of Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes, Tomato Tarts and Victoria Sponge, and kick-started the baking revolution.

How To Be a Domestic Goddess is not about being a goddess, but about feeling like one. Here is the book that feeds our fantasies, understands our anxieties and puts cakes, pies, pastries, preserves, puddings, bread and biscuits back into our own kitchens.

'This is for those days or evenings when you want to usher a little something out of the kitchen that makes you thrill at the sheer pleasure you've conjured up.'

Cakes: from a simple Victoria Sponge to beautiful Fairy Cakes
Biscuits: classic Oatcakes, indulgent Jam-Doughnut Muffins and other treats
Pies: sweet Double Apple Pie or savoury Pizza Rustica?
Puddings: Gooseberry-Cream Crumble, Cherry Trifle and Irish Blue biscuits for cheese
Chocolate: a Gooey Chocolate Stack to share, or Molten Chocolate Babycakes to devour yourself…
Children: easy Butter Cut-Out Cookies, anyone?
Christmas: Cake, Pudding, Boxing Day Egg-and-Bacon Pie ... and Mulled Wine
Bread: proof that baking bread can be fuss-free, with recipes like Nigella’s own Brown Bread
