About this deal
Nobody's bake is perfect. So if things go wrong, just remember: WHO CARES AS LONG AS IT TASTES GOOD? From simple recipes to encourage even the most inexperienced bakers through to more ambitious centrepieces, the focus is always on great flavour. No stranger to the mishaps (and epic disasters) of homebaking, Lottie's signature sense of humour will see you through this delicious collection of sweet and savoury bakes. 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. This book will give you the confidence to go for it, encouraging you to try your best without taking baking (or yourself) too seriously.

I’ve never wanted to actually read a cookbook until this one. Definitely recommend! I know cooking times vary from oven to oven but there was no indication in the cookbook how to check if the cheesecake was ready. The recipes themselves are well thought out, the instructions/steps are simple and the end result tastes great.

Ingredients are US ones also. Cooking times vary a little bit, I made the cheesecake the first time and it was still a bit runny after being in the fridge overnight. The writing is as familiar and fun as the author. I’m trying a “5 egg” for Christmas.

There's also no portion sizes or amounts, the author explains why, and I agree, nobody should tell me how big my slice of cake should be, but I would like to know how many biscuits I'll be making so that I can plan things a little better. Lottie likes to keep it real “no faff”, & simple to follow recipes. I also appreciate that all of her measurements are cups & not by weight which is done in the US.
Love that the recipes are “rated” as to how easy they should be. I've only tried a couple of recipes so far but they've all been great - see attached photos.
She keeps it simple & takes all of this baking stuff in stride by focusing & great flavour & ingredients. I have too many BBO bakers cookbooks to admit, & this one I have thoroughly enjoyed using! Plenty of great tips and suggestions for alternatives throughout the book.
