Merle's Kitchen by Merle Parrish

Home Baked Never Tasted So Good!

At the age of seven Merle Parrish baked a batch of Anzac Biscuits that won her first prize in a state cookery competition. After that it was her patty cakes that won her first prize for cake baking. Since then her skills have only improved, as has her baking repertoire. With everyday ingredients and simple to follow directions, these recipes will allow you to create mouth watering treats at home, including Merel's famous Peach Blossom Cake.

Merle's Kitchen is a collection of Merle's own recipes as well as those that have been handed down to her from both her mother and grandmother. Including recipes for cakes, puddings, slices and scones, each delicious recipe is presented in full colour with notes scattered throughout. A wonderful collection that will satisfy all your baking needs, whether you're looking for treats for the kids, impressive deserts or something sweet for yourself, you're sure to find something to please.
