"Packed with joyful food writing, each recipe complemented by its history and stunning photography." -- Appetite Magazine

With over one hundred iconic recipes, The British Baking Book tells the wonderfully evocative story of baking in Britain -- and how this internationally cherished tradition has evolved from its rich heritage to today's immense popularity of The Great British Bake Off. With lavish imagery and evocative narrative, the expert-baker author details the landscape, history, ingenuity, and legends -- and show-stopping recipes -- that have made British baking a worldwide phenomenon.

From cakes, biscuits, and buns to custards, tarts, and pies, authentic recipes for Britain's spectacular sweet and savory baked goods are included here -- like pink-frosted Tottenham cake, jam-layered Victoria sandwich cake, quintessential tea loaf, sweet lamb pie, Yorkshire curd tart, and more. Illustrating the story of how British baking evolved throughout the country, many of the recipes have a sense-of-place heritage like Dorset apple cake, Whitby lemon buns, Cornish cake, Grasmere gingerbread, and Scottish oatcakes. Evocative and fascinating, this cookbook offers a guided tour of Britain's best baking.

"From the iconic Chelsea bun to the substantial Staffordshire oatcake, the bakes she highlights in the book epitomize comfort and reassurance." -- National Post
