THE Great Australian Bake Off is the book for keen home bakers and is sure to have people rushing to preheat their ovens.
The gorgeously styled book, an accompaniment to the new Channel Nine series of the same name, is full of inspirational goodies to bake, as well as practical baking advice.
Baking gurus and judges on the show, Dan Lepard and Kerry Vincent, are responsible for the practical tips - such as adding vanilla to biscuit dough, even when it isn’t called for in the recipe.
Some recipes, marked with a butterfly logo, are easy for the children to create, such as the tasty little gingerbreads served cupcake-style.
Others, like breakfast croissants, are ideal for competent bakers looking for a challenge.
Savoury pastry recipes are high on the 'wow' factor, such as Jerusalem artichoke tarts with green olive tapenade, and mushroom and gorgonzola twists.
