Baking Imperfect: Crush, Whip and Spread It Like Nobody's Watching

Product Information

From advice on stacking a tier cake to piping flowers, creating the perfect flavour pairing and avoiding a curdled cake batter or buttercream, Rahul shares his scientific knowhow on achieving sublime bakes - as well as advice on how to fix things when they go wrong. This same humor comes through in the book: Lottie's system of denoting a recipe's difficulty by ranking them 1 to 5 with an adorable cracked egg emoji is just one charming example. I’m very grateful to Octopus and The HHB Agency for believing that I could put that message into my own original recipe book. I liked that this baking book, almost challenged you to accept the imperfections and flaws that happen with baking.

This book will give you the confidence to go for it, encouraging you to try your best without taking baking (or yourself) too seriously. Today's panelists are WAMC’s Alan Chartock, Former EPA Regional Administrator, Siena College Professor of Economics Aaron Pacitti, Albany Law School Professor of Law, Director of The Justice Center and Director of Immigration Law Clinic Sarah Rogerson, and Albany County District Attorney David Soares. At the end of the day, when it comes to food, pleasing the taste buds matters way more than it does the eyes. Brimming with the Great British Bake Off star Lottie Bedlow’s trademark humour, Baking Imperfect is a big-hearted baking guide for the faint-hearted, featuring mouthwatering treats from fool proof custard to Irish stout cake.

Bedlow added: “There is so much about baking that can feel intimidating but, if you love eating as much as I do, making your own bakes is the best experience. I developed quite a crush on adorable Lottie Bedlow in the 2020 season of The Great British Bake Off, so I snapped up a copy of Baking Imperfect: Crush, Whip and Spread it Like Nobody's Watching when I saw it.

There are, of course, gorgeous pictures of food, glossary of baking terms, and a list of what you will need before you begin your baking adventure. Lottie Bedlow, who you may remember as the rather sarcastic contestant (and overnight celebrity) from the 2020 season of The Great British Bake Off, has her own cookbook coming out later this year.Ranging from simple recipes for the inexperienced to ambitious centrepieces, Baking Imperfect gives the reader the “confidence to go for it, encouraging you to try your best without taking baking (or yourself) too seriously”. No stranger to the mishaps (and epic disasters) of homebaking, Lottie's signature sense of humour will see you through this delicious collection of sweet and savoury bakes. Big exam, AP tests coming up, the kitchen would be filled that weekend with all sorts of desserts to be given to friends and family.
