Every time I write a book review I always feel it important
to say that I don’t buy baking books any more. But that’s just not true; I do
still buy baking and cook books.
The truth is I’m just pickier about which ones I buy. My
shelves really are straining from the weight.
I hadn't known that Ruby Tandoh from the Great British Bake
Off had written a book. When I had wondered into my local Sainsbury’s and saw
it on the shelf curiosity got the best of me and I had a look through.
It visually appealed to me and after I read the intro I
found myself putting it in my basket. I tend to stalk and contemplate a book
with great scrutiny until I finally buy it. It’s like my husband when he’s
deciding on some electronic gadget. However with this book it just felt right
in my hands.
That probably sounds weird, but it’s true.

Once I sat down with a nice cup of coffee and started to
read I was very impressed. It is more then just recipes; it’s a genuine intro
to baking. If I were teaching Baking 101 I would have this on top of my list
for recommended reading.

It’s informative not only of the how to of baking but of the
why. Which is refreshing after the amount of baking books that to no fault of
their own can leave a lot to guessing.

The book covers the basics of basic baking with the ability
to take what you've learned and experiment on your own. The chapters include:
Cake, Bread, Sweet Dough, Biscuits, Puddings & Desserts, Pies & Tarts,
Pastries, and Extras.

There are quite a few recipes I wouldn't mind having a go of
for instance the Orange & White Chocolate Loaf Cake or her Cornish Splits
and I have always wanted to make Monkey Bread! I think I will have a lot of fun
experimenting with this book!
