I wanted this to be the cookbook that I had always looked for on the shelves but could never find. If you are interested in baking, no matter your level of experience or the equipment you have, this book is designed for you. I have tried to answer as many questions as you may have, and provide a collection of recipes that are adaptable for various palates and seasons. For most recipes the ingredients are few or can be easily sourced, and I have been very conscious of the price of supermarket goods when designing each recipe. Each cake and dessert is styled in a way that is beautiful but totally replicable at home.

If you are a skilled baker, hopefully you will find some inspiration from this book. Or, if you are new to baking, this book would be a fantastic place to start your journey. Kids can absolutely bake from this book. This is a place to learn, to make mistakes, to experiment with different flavours, and to have a laugh.
