Baking and the meaning of Life by Helen Goh

Timeless baking companion by Ottolenghi pastry chef and food columnist, including 100 favourite tried-and-tested bakes as well as insight into why baking brings us joy.

In this, her first solo cookbook, Helen draws on her own life to bring together 100 favourite recipes and show how baking is the ultimate vehicle to convey joy, connection and personal growth. There's the buttery chocolate babka Helen and her son love to make together, the golden brown pancakes that are her secret weapon for brunch, a fragrant pandan chiffon cake that instantly transports her back to the familiar warmth of her Malaysian childhood, cheesy cornbread muffins that are perfect for picnics, a champagne celebration cake and her perfectly simple vanilla cupcakes.
