Beautiful Baking

The Eat Well, Live Well series of healthy eating cookbooks will help you to look good and feel great. They present a wide range of traditional and new recipes from around the world which not only taste delicious but are good for you too.

Eating healthily doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to cakes and biscuits for ever. Beautiful Baking shows that home-baked cakes and biscuits not only taste great but can actually be nutritious too. You'll find out how you can increase the healthiness of your own baking by minimising the amount of fat and sugar you use, and by adding extra nutrients in the form of fruit or even vegetables.

As with all books in the Eat Well, Live Well series, Beautiful Baking combines advice on healthy eating with wonderful, mouth-watering recipes. Try the strawberry shortcake, or the delicious double chocolate chunk and nut cookies for a sweet snack, or try one of the recipes for making tasty, wholesome bread, from light rye bread, to focaccia and pitta bread.

Each recipe is accompanied by "plus points" which point out the healthy qualities of ingredients used in the recipe. Whether you fancy something sweet or savoury, Beautiful Baking has something to tempt you.
