A Good Day to Bake: Simple Baking Recipes for Every Mood

Description

Going through the ritual of bringing out the measuring scales, pouring out flour, whipping up the eggs, stirring the batter and impatiently slicing up warm cake is a beautiful thing that deserves to be enjoyed all year round no matter the day, season or occasion. This is a cookbook that embraces simplicity, mindfulness and the therapeutic comforts of baking. The Great British Bake Off's 2016 contestant Benjamina writes so warmly about cakes and her recipes speak to a natural, seasonal and down-to-earth way of baking. Chapters include Herbs & Tea, Stone Fruit & Berries, Vegetables, Best of Beige, Spice Cupboard, and Chocolate. Because every day is a good day to bake.

Benjamina Ebuehi writes recipes, styles and creates content for media, such as BBC Good Food, Waitrose Weekend and Guardian Feast as well as brands such as Sainsbury's, McVities, Lindt, Lyles Golden Syrup, Anthropologie, Baileys and Schwartz spices. Benjamina is an ambassador for the incredible social enterprise Luminary Bakery, and co-founded, with her sister Bonita, The Sister Table, hosting pop-up brunches and supper clubs for women across London. Her food blog Carrot and Crumb was a finalist in the 2019 Saveur Blog Awards. A Good Day to Bake is her second cookbook.

A mixture of modernised classics (think malted brown butter pound cake), rewarding projects and tempting savouries make this a collection to excite bakers at any level. * Waitrose Weekend * Channeling the therapeutic qualities behind the ritual of baking, A Good Day to Bake reminds its reader of the little joys of readying a workspace to create everyday goodies. * Tasting Table *
