Like all of us Sally Wise loves a sweet treat, at the end of the day, in the middle of the afternoon - or any other time. Here she has drawn on her talents as an everyday cook and a mother of six, including one child with coeliac disease, to create a book of delicious treats from old fashioned custards and puddings to tarts and slices, from cookies and biscuits to cakes of all sizes and varieties, from fruit pies to confectionary. These are recipes which can be enjoyed by everyone, even if they are watching their weight, they can be made without sugar or eggs and still come up tasting fabulous.

Sally Wise is the bestselling author of A Year in a Bottle and Slow Cooker.
