Bake Happy

Gail Bussi has been baking and collecting recipes since she was just tall enough to peek over the top of her mother's kitchen table. This collection represents some of her most treasured recipes and memories of baking with her mother, or for friends and family.
But Gail doesn't merely collect other people's recipes; if she's inspired by one or something she's enjoyed on her travels, she'll experiment, adjust and improve until she creates a slice of pure baked bliss. And if there's anything she enjoys more than baking itself, it's the joy of sharing the end result with others, so that they in turn may share and celebrate with their loved ones.
Accompanied by charming illustrations, annecdotes from her life's stories and a wonderful selection of quotations, Gail provides recipes for cakes, tarts (sweet and savoury), puddings, slices, breads, muffins, scones, biscuits, bars and so much more for every event. Even the laziest of armchair cooks will be motivated to dust off their baking tins and measuring spoons to satisfy the craving that these recipes will induce!

Gail Bussi is a freelance artist/designer and journalist. While she lived in England for a number of years, she studied cooking and worked in a bakery. Since returning to South Africa she has catered professionally and baked for various home industries on a parttime
basis. She is based in Pretoria.
