Learn to bake with Britain's favourite women's fiction author, Marian Keyes

Saved by Cake gives an extremely honest account of Marian Keyes' recent battle with depression, and how baking has helped her. A complete novice in the kitchen, Marian decided to bake a cake for a friend and that was it - she realized that baking was what she needed to do in order to get her through each day. And so she baked, and she wrote her recipes down, and little by little the depression has started to lift, along with her sponges . . .

With chapters on cupcakes, cheesecakes, meringues and macaroons, chocolate cakes, fruit cakes and favourite classics, Marian's recipes are aimed firmly at beginner bakers, offering hints and tips to help along the way. Never patronizing, always honest and witty, accessible and full of fun, the bakes and cakes that Marian serves up in this cookbook will put a smile on your face and make you happy. From her Consistently Reliable Cupcakes and Very Chocolately Macaroons, to the ease of her Fridge-set Honeycomb Cheesecake, you will want to have a go at making all of Marian's recipes. The shoe and handbag biscuits particularly. Very covetable. Very Marian.

About the Author: Marian Keyes

Marian Keyes is one of the msot successful irish novelists of all time. Though she was bought up in a home where a lot of oral story-telling went on, it never occurred to her that she could write. Instead she studies law and accountancy and finally started writing short stories in 1993 "out of the blue". Though she never had any intention of writing a novel ("it would take too long")she sent her short stories to a publisher, with a letter saying she'd started work on a novel. The publishers replied, asking to see the novel, and once her panic subsided, she began to write what subsequently became her first novel, Watermelon.

She was born in Limerick in 1963, and brought up in Cavan, Cork, Galway and Dublin; she spent her twenties in London, but is now living in D n Laoghaire with her husband Tony. She includes among her hobbies, reading, movies, shoes, handbags and feminism.
