This week’s topic is a Freebie. Which means we have a topic of your choosing today!
Collister, Linda; Berry, Mary; Hollywood, Paul "Great British Bake Off: How to Bake: The Perfect Victoria Sponge and Other Baking Secrets" - [kdÜ] - 2011It's the beginning of the baking season, so I thought I should post something with baked goods on the cover.
I have done Top Ten Books with Food on their Covers and Spell the Month in Books before but I have found some other titles that I would like to present to you today.

I love the Great British Bake Off and this was one of their first books.
Eggels, Elle "The House of the Seven Sisters" (NL: Het huis van de zeven zusters) - 1998
Seven orphaned sisters run a bakery. One of my favourite Dutch books about different kind of women who try to do their best, who try to live their life in a society that has a certain idea of how women should lead their lives.
Numeroff, Laura "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" - 1985
Brilliant children's book with beautiful illustrations. It teaches about consequences.
Scott, Mary "Tea and Biscuits" - 1961
The third book in the series by Mary Scott about the farmers' wives Susan and Larry. This was my favourite series in my youth.
Sponge, Miss Victoria "Scone with the Wind: Cakes and Bakes with a Literary Twist" - 2015
A combination of two things I really like: reading and baking. Bake your way through the classics.

"Scone with the Wind" is a *very* brave title indicating the pronunciation of 'scone' the way it does!! WARS have been fought over less here in the UK... [lol] But it *is* pronounced SCON, so..... [grin]
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Kitten, I never thought about that though I know about the war. It's always funny when you see it on British TV when someone talks about scones how they go SCONs or SCONEs. LOL
DeleteI've been in very intense arguments about snow too... Does it 'stick', 'lay', 'pitch'..... Sometimes its just better to agree to disagree and save the friendship... [grin] Oh, and then there's the 'bread roll' question. Now *that's* a tricky one.... [lol]
DeleteThe trouble is, Kitten, it's already tough enough for foreigners to learn the different pronunciations and then you meet a Brit who tells you that's not correct. LOL
DeleteI love If You Give a MOuse a Cookie! It's such a classic picture book. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd absolutely cute, Lark.
