Biddy White Lennon's Home Baking

According to fellow members of the Irish Food Writers Guild, Biddy White Lennon is a bread and cake maker whose talent verges on genius. In a better world Home Baking would be a glitzy hardback, with creative typography and the sort of photography you can eat. Alas, despite having been Maggie in the Riordans, Biddy’s present day profile doesn’t warrant such extravagance so we get this trimmed A5 paperback, naively illustrated and printed on coarse stock. Buy it anyway and get baking, her recipes are brilliant.
