Well that was very honest. I have bought the book and I think I have died and gone to heaven…I love it……. even the dodgy twee stuff…life’s too full of horrible things…. and this book is a refreshing change..rather like your blog xx

I came back to this review again since Hilary mentioned it again recently. If only my cookbook shelf had a bit more room on it I would buy this. I am a huge fan of healthy baking with veg (I just love veg soo much! honestly!). Thanks again for your comments. Maybe it could be my half-birthday present to myself??

Ahh I demand you post the recipe for the Banana and Toffee sticky cake. That there looks delicious. And are there any beets recipes? Like for a real red velvet cake?

MH- Glad you liked it ;) If you ignore the writing it’s a pretty great book- I’m planning to make another few things from it before returning it to Hil.

Hahah wonderful!! What a great review- I am still chuckling to myself right now. Indeed, the day my cupcakes compliment me is the day I step away from the kitchen for good!
The writing does sound super annoying but I’d be willing to give this veg thing a try. You know my overall feelings on butter though… just can’t get enough.
