The first book from the stand-out star from the most popular series of The Great British Bake Off ever

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Lottie Bedlow was the stand-out star from Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off 2020 and taught herself to bake through trial and error. No stranger to the mishaps (and epic disasters) of home baking, Lottie's signature sense of humour will see you through this delicious collection of sweet and savoury bakes. From simple recipes to encourage even the most inexperienced bakers through to more ambitious centrepieces, the focus is always on great flavour. Each recipe highlights potential pitfalls, with notes on what to look out for and how to find a fix. This book will give you the confidence to go for it, encouraging you to try your best without taking baking (or yourself) too seriously. Nobody's bake is perfect. So if things go wrong, just remember: WHO CARES AS LONG AS IT TASTES GOOD?
