A Good Day to Bake: Simple Baking Recipes for Every Mood

Product Information

For those of us who are fans of The Great British Baking Show, Ebuehi was a quarter finalist in 2016, and it's clear she is top of class as a baker--both in skills and imagination.

I considered downstarring by 1 for these issues, but decided that the incredible creativity in this book is overwhelming. I think the pandemic really helped me to just see those small little moments, those small little rituals and habits that we do and just really appreciate them on such a different level.And these bakes didn’t have to involve complex technique to be satisfying: “I wanted the book to kind of be a reflection of that simpler, slower time. And so just wanting people to approach it in a different way and just really enjoying each step, focusing on everything that you're doing, the little things, the flavor that you're putting in, the time and the energy that you're putting in rather than what does it look like at the end. One of my most anticipated books this year: I can’t recommend this book or her previous book enough. We have it all the time, and so I really wanted to include it in a way that was, I guess, different than the way that we grew up eating it or that my family would be used to having it and just showing its versatility and how much it can be used in so many different recipes.

The author shares her philosophy of baking and the joy it brings to her and to those who are the recipient of her fine recipes.Abuehi is supremely creative and eye-widening recipes include the goose fat potato focaccia, lemon and chamomile buns, sticky toffee treacle tart, and more. Lots of yummy goodies in here, but I think I prefer Ebuehi's first book as the variety in cakes were more up my street. And the white chocolate buttercream just brings a creaminess that cuts through some of that floral, citrusy flavor and just ties the whole thing together.
