Comprehensive biscuit bible
The title is apt - this book is a comprehensive collection of every biscuit recipe you'd (probably) ever need, each one accompanied by step-by-step images and a mouth-watering photo of the result.
As an exercise, think of something you might want to make:
Classics like chocolate cookies and shortbread? Yep.
Healthier stuff like oatcakes and cereal bars? Yep.
What about weirder biscuits like amaretti or those boudoir finger things to go in trifle? Yep, they're in there, along with hundreds of others.
There are plenty of ideas for baking to give as gifts or for picnics and parties.
I was given this book as a spontaneous random present on the condition that I made the giver the cookies on the front of the book - Greek honey creams. Very easy recipe and delicious results.
Highly recommended!

The Cookie Bible
This is the most fantastic cookie book. The variety of recipes are excellent with a range of simple, fancy and healthy options. Recipes are easy to use. Since buying this book I have not purchased any shop bought biscuits. Recommended
