Chetna's Easy Baking

A brand-new baking collection from Bake Off's Chetna Makan, with over 80 deliciously-tempting recipes that combine her love of simple home cooking with creative flavour twists.

Chetna's popular and accessible style has charmed millions of people since her first appearance on our screens in The Great British Bake Off. Since then, she has written several bestselling cookbooks that combine her creative flavours with a love of simple Indian home cooking.

In this new collection, Chetna showcases delicious sweet and savoury bakes which have easy-to-find ingredients and simple-to-follow methods, but a special flavour twist to make your bakes sing and shine. That could be a spice you might not expect, such as star anise in a tarte Tatin, a fusion of global incidences such as Masala Focaccia, or a twist on a classic, such as a drizzle cake dazzling with mango and ginger. Proving once again that simple baking methods are the best, Chetna's inspirational recipes are a joy to make and share with your favourite people.

RECIPES INCLUDE:
Cherry Almond Honey Cake
Onion Masala Focaccia
