Perfect Start November 21, 2008
My children and I loved the television series which was an ideal partner with the book. Our nine year old who has never baked before found the lemon tart easy to make. I had never made one before and was also surprised how easy it was. I therefore became more adventurous and tried the Baklava which is rated as intermediate. Again the instructions were easy to follow and the results brought back memories of when we last had some on our Greek Holiday. This book seems to fill a gap in the market as other cook books seem to require attendance at a cookery school beforehand. I would therefore recommend this to anyone who has not baked before as the instructions are easy to follow and you will be encouraged to try even more adventurous recipes.
 Another winner from Rachel Allen November 9, 2008
This girl knows her baking! If cakes, breads and pastry are normally a struggle then look no further. Rachel Allen shows you how to get top results and best of all she makes it easy.Recipes That Really Work
Pretty Good Cook Book November 7, 2008
As a fairly amateur but keen cook, I wholeheratedly agree with all the other reviewers. This is a good little cook book. I also would have preferred each recipe to have a photo so I know what it looks like and whether I have cooked it right! I am not keen on the typefont either, but having said that, there are great tips (as in her accompanying series) and I do love the end section on jams, sauces etc. One that I will be using quite a bit.
Highly reliable and oh so enjoyable recipes November 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Having watched some of the 'Bake' series on UK food, I was inspired to buy this accompanying cookbook.
And very pleased I am too, as the book far exceeds my expectations.
Rachel writes in an easy to follow, non-patronising way, giving clear and reliable instructions. The recipes are accurate, giving good results. Rachel also offers top tips (try rolling pastry in cling film - genius!)and ways to vary things to suit you.
The illustrations are mouthwatering, and so far all my versions look pretty similar! (Current top favourites are the Fresh cream sponge roll, and the pretty swirled meringues).
It has inspired me to bake, lots lots more, and to great success and appreciation of friends and family.
I cant recommend 'Bake' enough, for amateur and expreienced cooks alike.
P.S. I believe the series is being broadcast on the BBC soon - I recommend watching that too if you can, simply brilliant.
A Future Classic from Rachel Allen. November 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although I've enjoyed using recipes from Rachel's other cookbooks, like another reviewer, I believe (even after trying only a few of the recipes so far) that this one will become one of my indispensable reference cookbooks. All the recipes I've tried so far work gloriously and I'm looking forward to trying the christmas cake (an interesting twist on a classic by her mother in-law, Darina Allen).Ballymaloe Cookery Course.
