Get your hands on a copy of Calendar of Cakes, recipes, tips and tricks from the South Australian Country Women's Association.
From the kitchen tools you'll need, to basic preparations, temperatures, timing and terminology, this book strips baking bare.
The book assumes the reader is a novice - and that is what makes it so great.
It's like being in the kitchen with your grandma and being allowed to help.
The SACWA has been serving the community since 1929 and the book was created entirely by volunteers.
It's a modern reworking or SACWA's original and highly popular Calendar of Cakes from 1950.
There's a cake for every week of the year - and more for special occasions.
Old favourites are there, such as the pavlova and the lamington (with a gluten-free twist), along with some more unusual delicious offerings such as the walnut and fig torte and the beer and coconut crumble cake.
This is definitely a book to give to any young person about to leave home-if you can part with it!
