CAKES and BISCUITS (FOOD)

This work is taken from a series which introduces children to all aspects of everday foods. Taking the theme of a familiar food, each book examines in simple, clear text, the reasons why we eat it, how and where it is grown and produced, its nutritional value, who eats it and where, and its historical background. Each book contains simple step-by-step recipes which the reader can easily follow. Cakes and biscuits are discussed in this book. As well as examining how to make them, and the variety of flavourings that can be used, it also describes some traditional cakes from around the world that have become popular here. The author is a nutritionalist who has written another book in this Wayland series, "Beans and Pulses".
