So much knowledge and useful help. Even I can bake using this book. I loved James in the Bake Off Show and I love his book.

The explanations are very clear and easy to understand, and provide just the information I was looking for to ensure my bakes come out right.

Llegó en buen estado el libro. Esperaba un poco de contenido más detallado.

I did not see the early bake-offs, but this guy is a winner. Very clear and thoughtful advice on cooking. I'm a scientist, so his logic is exactly what I need to understand the great mysteries of pastries and sponges.

Love this book and all the information. It came quickly too.

Great book , ,.. love the recipes as well as James’ entertaining and very no- fuss approach to baking. ( the brownies are to die for!)

Whether your a Great British Bake-off fan or not, this is the cookbook that will answer many questions, for a variety of home bakers.

I’ve got three of James Morton’s books including this one. They are my most used books and he really makes things simple. Everything I’ve tried is very tasty!

Love that this explains the what, how, and why of the ingredients and techniques used in the recipes without getting too technical. We bought this for our 12 year old son who loves to bake, but I think I'll need a copy for myself too.

I purchased this book after having James Morton's bread recipe book, which I use often. Love the explanations in this one, because I like understanding why I'm meant to do something one way and not the other. It also helps me decide how I will potentially adapt recipes. I haven't tested all the recipes, but the ones I did try were very good.

As a domestic baker I have enjoyed enormously having James Morton on my book shelf. His bread book is my 'go to' when I need to make sense of the methods given by the those in the industry who provide a brilliant reference point but with techniques and equipment that don't quite translate to the domestic kitchen or to a non professional.I have yet to fully enjoy this new book but the recipes look truly wonderful. Perhaps some are slightly eclectic for those new to baking but the cooking advice and troubleshooting will definitely help build confidence. I love the comment about brownies "my test of any chocolate desert is simple: eat some of the chocolate you baked with. If you'd rather have the chocolate than the brownie, you've failed'. How true - turn a couple of pages to the brownie photo and you'll never eat a chocolate bar again!This book covers an awful lot of ground. There are a lot of ideas for seasoned bakers, some excellent advice on how and why things do and don't work and a bit of a comfort blanket for those who make mistakes in the kitchen; James must have gone there in able to write this book.Not sure it's for beginner bakers but it's a beautifully presented book and it'll be on my present list this year for everyone, regardless of their ability.

Love it, not only does it include basic recipes but the explanations for why certain things are done are so valuable!
