Bake it Better – Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our US/UK giveaway to win one of two copies of Bake It Better: 70 Show-stopping Recipes to Level-Up Your Baking Skills by Matt Adlard.

Matt Adlard’s debut cookbook Bake It Better: 70 Show-stopping Recipes to Level-Up Your Baking Skills is impressive. Matt is a self-taught baker and pastry chef from Norwich, England with a large social media following. Bake it Better is a baking course for the home kitchen and contains a wealth of information from the basics ingredients, tools and equipment to step-by-step photos and details for techniques: forming a tart crust, tempering chocolate and kneading dough.

The recipes are indeed show-stopping and include Chocolate and mascarpone travel cake, Peach crumble soufflé, Tiger madeleines, Hazelnut praline mille feuille, and a Tropézienne cube. The aim of the book is to lead us through the baking process. Each recipe comes as a pair, a Tier 1 recipe and a Tier 2 recipe. Tier 1 teaches us the fundamentals and then when we are ready we can take a fundamental element from Tier 1, level it up and create a dessert that mimics that of a professional bakery.
