Cakes, Bakes and Biscuits is a treasury of modern and classic recipes from the National Trust that you can create in the comfort of your own home, on a lazy Sunday or with the kids. From classic favourites like Victoria sponge and simple fruit cake to treats for children, perfect preserves and even savoury breads and bites, there are over 100 delicious recipes to make and enjoy. These recipes include a variety of cakes, muffins, flapjacks, fancies, scones, tarts, buns, cookies – and even custard cream biscuits! There's a section on savoury bakes too.
This book also includes regional favourites such as Barm Brack from Wales, Bath Buns and Banbury Cakes. There are also recipes with fascinating connections to NT properties too – Secretary Tarts from Polesden Lacey and Kedleston Marmalade Cake.
With tips and techniques to ensure you get a perfect result every time, Cakes, Bakes and Biscuits is the perfect accompaniment to a classic British teatime.
In this cookbook, the National Trust share their hugely popular, tried-and-tested dishes so you can cook your favourites at home.
The National Trust has nearly 200 cafes, and in 2014 they served 3.2 million cups of tea, 2.68 million home-made cakes and more than 600,000 soups. In this cookbook, the National Trust share their hugely popular, tried-and-tested dishes so you can cook your favourites at home.
There are over 100 recipes for British seasonal dishes, ranging from classics like Steak and Ale Pie to to newer favourites like Pumpkin Pearl Barley Risotto and Vegetable Tagine. Desserts range from scones (of which the NT sell millions and particularly pride themselves) to Ginger and Satsuma cake and Orange and Poppyseed cake. Many of the recipes use ingredients sourced from the NT's kitchen gardens and farms – and so make the most of the fresh summer peas or autumnal squashes. The book also features recipes that are linked to NT places, such as the hearty beef stew enjoyed by Churchill at Chartwell, Agatha Christie's favourite Lobster Bisque which she ate at Greenway, or the Plum Cake recipe handed down to Beatrix Potter from her mother.
