Bake consists of a series of easy-to-follow recipes, with mouthwatering images to inspire you to create easy-on-the-eye sweet and savoury feasts at home.

The book is divided into six sections ad includes recipes for biscuits to fill up the cookie jar, savoury specialities such as the perfect roast chicken pie, an extensive selection of sweet tarts, cakes and meringue creations and essential recipes for fail-proof breads and buns.

The recipes and instructions are tried-and-tested, uncomplicated and oh-so-easy to achieve, with snippets of no-nonsense advice from creator Tina Bester. Bake takes the fear factor out of this timeless tradition and celebrates the joy that a pretty iced cupcake, still-warm savoury tart or just-baked loaf of homemade bread can bring.
