I am tossing up between her Free Range Cook or the city one - can anyone confirm which is better! It's on my Christmas wishlist!

I have also made the Lemon Coconut Cake which was fantastic. I made a half recipe and did it in a 23cm tin.

I met her at a Ruth Pretty cooking school day a few years back.She was just as engaging in real life as she is on tv,very funny and full of great anecdotes and of course,cooked fabulous food.She was friendly and chatted away quite happily to us.I have been a firm fan of herfoodfor many years now.

The carrot cake for a crowd is fantastic too. Made it for work and it was gone within an hour!

I too made the lemon coconut cake I thought her looked thin so thought I would use my 26cm tin and it would be 'thicker' but you definately need a 30cm tin, lucky I had the forsight to put a trade under it as it did spill over but it is devine, the icing was like coconut ice.I would definately make it again when I can afford $51 for the tin!

Both books are fantastic. I would suggest you look at both of them, perhaps borrow from the library to aid in your decision.
Free range is making everything from scratch and set in a rural setting, whereas the city book is about bringing home gardening and cooking to the city.
