The book is divided into three parts.

Basic Cookery - provides series of picture lessons from which the most inexperienced beginner can quickly learn how to produce the dishes required for everyday use in the home.

Picture Cookery - goes a stage further. It comprises a complete course of home cookery in pictures: the processes are again shown in step-by-step pictures, but more fully and with many additional and more elaborate recipes.

Picture Cake Making, devotes itself to a subject which has perhaps the widest appeal in the whole range of cookery. It shows, in the same step-by-step pictorial fashion, all the processes of mixing, baking, icing and decorating cakes, and includes hundreds of recipes for all kinds of plain and fruit cakes, sponges, gateaux, wedding, christmas, small cakes, and patisseries.

Contains nearly 2000 photographs many of which in colour. There are more than 1500 recipes,
