Publisher Description
A brand-new baking collection from Bake Off's Chetna Makan, with over 80 deliciously-tempting recipes that combine her love of simple home cooking with creative flavour twists.
Chetna's popular and accessible style has charmed millions of people since her first appearance on our screens in The Great British Bake Off. Since then, she has written several bestselling cookbooks that combine her creative flavours with a love of simple Indian home cooking.
In this new collection, Chetna showcases delicious sweet and savoury bakes which have easy-to-find ingredients and simple-to-follow methods, but a special flavour twist to make your bakes sing and shine. That could be a spice you might not expect, such as star anise in a tarte Tatin, a fusion of global incidences such as Masala Focaccia, or a twist on a classic, such as a drizzle cake dazzling with mango and ginger. Proving once again that simple baking methods are the best, Chetna's inspirational recipes are a joy to make and share with your favourite people.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Makan, alum of the Great British Bake Off, leads with seasonal ingredients featuring tropical touches and textural contrasts in this savvy inventory of easy-to-execute recipes that cover savories as well as sweets, with vegan options. Seemingly serendipitous ingredient combinations include caramel laced with star anise in a pear, chocolate, and hazelnut tarte tatin, or a tiramisu flavored with rosewater in addition to the typical instant espresso. Plenty of playful options include the Banoffee Chocolate Pavlova, a deconstructed twist on the Banoffee pie, which uses a pavlova as the base instead of a butter biscuit. A black tahini tart is perhaps the signature bake of the book with its inky-black filling of sesame paste sweetened with honey. Indian-influenced savory options include a fresh-take assortment of pies, pizzas, and pasties. Paneer is added to cheddar cheese scones, yogurt to the dough for a "Chilli naan" pizza (topped with chutney), and fenugreek to the crust of a curried chickpea cauliflower pie. While the collection is put together with simplicity in mind, the results are alluring for both the eye and the palate. Beginners and experienced bakers alike will feel a thrill of anticipation browsing these recipes, which perfectly combine the promise of familiarity and adventurousness.
