What's to love:
  • From the opening pages detailing how to choose fruit to the ending recipes for pastry creams and glazes everything about this book reaches out to the baker in me.
  • Measurements are given in weight and volume.
  • The Fermented banana cake, Sweet corn pudding with blackberries and Isabel's lemon birthday cake - are standouts in a book filled with standout recipes.
  • The first recipe I made was the Sour lemon cakes (pictured below). They were so easy to put together and extremely impressive.
  • Summer pudding and The lime pie that saved us are linked online for you to try now.
