For English cakes and puddings I would also recommend the original 1977 version of Delia's Cake book
Any idea if the 80's ones are ok? The OG ed seems pretty pricey now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DELIA-SMITHS-BOOK-OF-CAKES-by-DELIA-SMITH-H-B-D-W-1977-3-25-UK-POST/203252875700?hash=item2f52d0c1b4:g:No0AAOSwHYpgBvyw
Worth it for that cover :) It looks like it was only revised a few years ago, so I would think an 80s version would be fine.
I would also mention Elizabeth David, although I find myself rarely reaching for her books for some reason
Cheers.
