If you have ever been scared by the whole ‘baking’ thing: the art of it, the science, the precision, the skill...this book is your saviour. Various members of the B Team have all tried recipes from this lovely tome and they have just, well, worked. This must be the highest form of praise for a cookbook. Classics have been refined or tweaked so that not only does your shortbread/cake/pastry/scone look like it’s supposed to, it tastes out of this world.

Publisher synopsis: Forget American-style cupcakes - and start thinking good old-fashioned fairy cakes. Peyton & Byrne's must-have cookbook is dedicated to British Baking. The Fluffy Vanilla Fairy Cakes with Chocolate Fudge Icing will take you straight back to childhood. Other recipes include indulgent teatime treats like Victoria Sponge and Treacle Tart, forgotten classics like Chelsea Buns and Banana Nut Bread, and retro throwbacks like Jammy Dodgers and Swiss Rolls. With over 120 recipes, from showstoppers like Raspberry Ripple Cheesecake, to fabulously foolproof Gingerbread Men, "British Baking" has it all. Cakes, biscuits, tarts, buns and puddings - every recipe is simple to cook yet mouth-wateringly delicious. Peyton & Byrne are London's pre-eminent bakers. Since opening their first shop at Heals, they have been synonymous with exquisite cakes, gorgeously packaged. And this stylish book - with its pretty pastel colour-palette - is signature Peyton & Byrne. Cute and good looking, fun and approachable, intriguing and inspiring - experience the cookbook equivalent of meeting the one..
