Book Week

Book Week is on this week in Wesley so I thought we might suggest a few good Home Economics Books that you could read.

Cookery

One of my favourite cook books is Mary Berry's complete cook book as it has lots of ideas for soups, main course and most importantly desserts, cakes and biscuits!! Mary Berry is particularly well known for her successful baking recipies so her books will always come in handy if you enjoy baking.
Can you believe Christmas is only 9 weeks away now?? Get the Christmas cake ready with Nigella this year!
Check out the Snow-Flecked brownies in this book....Mmmmmm Chocolate heaven!!
