Book Description
The one-stop baking bible for all Aga owners

Most Aga-owners are terrified of baking, because there is no temperature to control and baking is all about precision. Amy Willcock shows that no matter what kind of range cooker you have, baking doesn’t have to be a nerve-wracking experience and that baking with an Aga is easy as pie. Never having to preheat an oven means that whipping up a little chocolate cake is done in no time, and don’t even contemplate buying a breadmaking machine, as the Aga is the only domestic oven that can compare with a commercial Baking Oven. Drawing on her experience teaching cookery classes, Amy Willcock shares with you all the tips and hints to baking wondrous foods every time.

Over 120 mouth-watering recipes
The recipes range from old favourites including fruit cake and apple pie, to exciting newcomers such as olive and mozzarella calzone, roasted vegetable tarte tatin, golden croustades and chocolate brioche pudding. There are indulgent treats such as pecan shortbread squares and raspberry soufflés, plus all the basic recipes you will ever need for successful baking.

Includes conventional oven instructions
