New softcover book, 374 pages, loads of beautiful colour photos by Petrina Tinslay.

The beautiful, bestselling classic that puts baking back into our kitchens and our lives

How to be a Domestic Goddess is not about being a goddess, but about feeling like one. What this deliciously reassuring and mouthwatering cookbooks shows is that it's not hard to bake a tray of muffins or a sponge layer cake, but the rewards are high.

Nigella shows that there can be more feelgood mileage from whipping up a batch of strawberry shortcakes or putting together a trifle than in almost any other cooking - and that it's not actually hard! A domestic goddess has to maintain her cool when faced with pastry, it's true- but with Nigella's guidance even shortcrust pastry can be pain-free. How to be a Domestic Goddess is the book that understands our anxieties, feeds our fantasies and puts cakes, pies, pastries, preserves, puddings, bread and biscuits back into today's kitchen and our lives. Everything from cupcakes to chocolate cakes, from brownies to bagels, from gooseberry-cream crumble to double apple pie, from pizza to pistachio macaroons, scones and muffins to cheesecakes and steamed syrup sponge, from baklava to a Barbie cake, as well as children's cooking, Christmas baking and other wonderful family festive treats.
