Description

Martha Collison amazed the judges and viewers alike as the youngest ever contestant in the 2014 series of The Great British Bake Off. Martha shone with her Showstopper skills and extraordinary 'Technical Challenge' knowledge. Here in her first book, she offers a brilliant new approach to baking - a way to master baking, while adding 'twists' to recipes to make contemporary bakes that everyone will love. With clever illustrations and know-how throughout, alongside beautiful photography, Martha demonstrates how to take basic recipes and alter them into something new. Whether it's a cake, a biscuit or even a pastry recipe, she shows how to alter the method, the balance of ingredients or the mixture of flavours to ensure exciting, magical bakes every time. Transform her Never-Fail Vanilla Cupcakes into Lemon Cheesecake Cupcakes, for example, or Caramel Macchiatos. Try Pink Grapefruit Drizzle Cake, instead of the usual Lemon, and then mix it up with Gin & Tonic flavours. Or take Macarons to a whole new level and try Peach Bellini Macarons or even a Macaron Shell Ice-Cream. Fresh, innovative and genuinely exciting, Twist looks set to make adventurous bakers of us all.… (more)

must say, her cookbook was actually good fun to read.

Her voice is personable; this truly is a friendly cookbook, like someone is taking you by the hand, never dumbing things down. The subtitle sums up the book's theme pretty well: she sets up basic recipes in each section, like for cupcakes or macarons, and then includes several more recipes that that twist the original in fun ways. I look forward to trying them out!
